A member asked:
Is a swelling in the genital area a sign of hiv infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Swelling in the genital/inguinal area can be a swollen lymph node, which can be from hiv, but it is not necessarilly so, because other diseases can cause that also; when in doubt go see a doctor to evaluate it.
