Hiv Lymph Nodes
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, i've been worrying about my lymph nodes lately which appears on the left side of my neck which is located slightly above my collarbone (maybe 2 inches above my collarbone) and i've noticed that its a bit bigger than other lymph nodes, and i measured the lymph node myself and its about plus minus half an inch big in diameter. And i've have this lymph node since 2016 and at the time was worried if its HIV because i was sexually active and i took a test and it came out negative, and towards the end of 2017 i took another test and it came back negative as well so i kinda developed an irrational fear of getting HIV since. Just wondering if the lymph node is something to worry about?

Lymph node is to trap and fight off virus. I don't think u have HIV cuz ur test after 3 month is conclusive. I would recommend u to test for other virus/diseases cuz sex transmits others virus, not just HIV.

I have many lymph nodes in my neck for about 6 years and they are discovered through many ultrasound checks, I did many many blood test and all was normal and I'm healthy.
You don't have hiv if you had tested negative with 4th generation elisa test at 3 months.

Many diseases can cause swollen lymph nodes, and remember swollen lymph nodes only diagnosed through ultrasound sound and they have to bigger than 1cm*1cm.
Don't play with them, this can cause inflammation.
