Swollen glands and HIV concern.

My lymph nodes above my collar bone and the ones in my groin are swollen. I also have a sore throat. Can this be a symptom of ARS???  Is a 4 weeks post exposure rapid antibody test accurate?

For the incident you describe, no! Keep calm :)

Ok thanks. So I don't need further testing  right?

There is no possibility. Lancets are for single use only. Take care :)

About 4 weeks ago I was tested for HIV at this local LGBT foundation. Although the result for my rapid HIV antibody test was negative my happiness was short lived when I began to wonder about the lancet use to prick my finger. I didn't see my tester open the lancet and I began to wonder if there is a possibility that the lancet was reused.  I am really nervousness of becoming infected with HIV because one later I had post nasal drip. I have also been experiencing joint pain and also some headaches. In addition now ( 4 weeks after the lancet incident) I am experiencing a sore throat and my lypmnodes above my collarbone seem swollen and also the one in my groin area. Can I lancet transmit HIV? Could they have purposely infected me with HIV and not told me anything about it? Was I at risk of HIV?
