Possibility

I have swollen/tender lymph nodes on the front left side of my neck and one hard cervical lymph node on the right side of my neck underneath the angle of my jawbone. However my test was negative after 12 weeks. So would that put me under the 6 month group for testing. I hear that 12 weeks/ 3 months is conlcusive but how come I still feel so sick if it's conclusive? Feel like I'm on fire but no fever when I check. Also had sinus infection. Also muscle aches since May and it's now October.

You won't get a positive result, you never had a risk.

I will let you know if my next test is positive. I called Aids hotline and they said I should retest at 6 month mark because not everyones immune system is the same and some people take longer to develop antibodies.

Guess I need to go to Doctor and find out what's wrong with me. Never felt like this in my life.

You never had an exposure and didn't need testing for HIV.
