HELP PLEASE FOUR WEEKS OF LYMPHE AND TEST NEG.

Dear All
I will try to make my question short as I know you are very busy, 4 weeks ago I started to have a noticeable enlarged Lymph nodes on my nick area which made me uncomfortable but no high temp. or Fever. I got tested twice one last week  and another one today ( four weeks after the noticable lymphe nodes) using Rapid Test and both came negative:

My question if HIV caused the Lymph enlargements I should be positive by now ( four weeks after the onset on ARS) correct?
It is already more that 3 months of my last exposure so should I contenue check my body for HIV symptoms or shell forget about HIV/AIDS stories and symptoms and tests?

swollen lymph nodes from someone who was actually infected...would come at 2-4 weeks after infection...not 2 months.

a negative test TRUMPS any symptoms you are experiencing.

if you are having health concerns...see your doctor...its NOT hiv related.

a negative test 3 months post exposure is RELIABLE and CONCLUSIVE...PROVING that you dont have hiv.
