A member asked:

Does hiv cause rock hard lymph nodes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might: Hiv can cause lymphadenopathy, that is enlargement of lymph nodes, and opportunistic infections which arise in the setting of HIV may also do this. Some infected large nodes can be hard. There are other causes for enlarged hard nodes, so this doesn't prove that someone has hiv.
