how often does someone have swollen lymph node in the neck that doesn't have a lump? for hiv in particular does swollen lymph nodes always have lump

Accepted Answer

Can you explain?: All swollen lymph nodes are lymps, though they may be deep and you can't feel them. And every male in his twenties, like you, has at least one or two palpable lymph nodes somewhere in the neck. Please do yourself a major favor right now, and go back to your physician and ask to be screened for HIV. Worrying like this is draining you of energy you need for other things. Best wishes.

: No, 60 days is too late. And the negative test proves HIV is not a possible cause of your symptoms. Nobody can ever have HIV symptoms with a negative 4th generation blood test. And your symptoms do not sound like HIV anyway. See a doctor if the problem doesn't clear up soon.
