A member asked:
Hi dr, could you please explain the difference between the swollen glands that related to hiv symptom and other illness , how can we distinguish them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: not. Some minor illness will have small lymph nodes. Hiv associated lymph nodes are usually greater than 2 cm. However they are non specfic and can occur in other infections and in cancer, Hence HIV test or see a doctor if primary infection is suspected
