pea size lymph nodes are NORMAL

a test at 84 days is conclusive...your result is NOT going to change in 2 days.

you DONT have hiv ! ! !

Today was my 82 days , almost 11 weeks and  2 days , i did combo test , Elisa Gen 4 , as i was very scared after this Pea behind my Ear and Neck , plus i feel all my joint is cracking and my shoulder and back muscle is very stiff , so i did it and Thanks god , was negative

Thanks all of you guys for being there and wish from god to bless you all ,


My question , do i need to do test after one week again or that will be conclusive as 12 week marks , as teak always stick to it .


i missed something might will be improtant , before 2 days , i went to urology and told him my story , so he injected me with mesproin 1 g
is it have any relation with my result or my lymph as side effect .

Just please answer me regarding if injection could do anything with the result and if it conclusive and no more test .

Swollen lymph nodes with ARS don't hurt. Your other symptoms don't have anything to do with HIV. Yes nine weeks is a good indicator but your 3 month post exposure test will be conclusive.

Pea size lymph nodes are normal size lymph nodes. You push and probe on them and you'll cause them to swell and become sore. Leave them alone.
