No HIV, no worry: These test results prove you don't have HIV. With all lab tests giving result as an "index value", all results below the positive cut-off are 100% negative. The same specimen tested 10 times will give 10 different numbers, which do not indicate "a little bit" of antibody. Stop testing and stop over-interpreting your test results. And HIV would never cause just a single lymph node enlargement.
