the swollen lymph nodes could be connected to the herpes infection. i have herpes and i've gotten swollen lymph nodes in my pelvis linked to it. as for hiv probably not but it depends on how long after the last incidence of unprotected sex (vaginal/anal) did you get your negative hiv test. if you received a negative hiv test at least 12 weeks after your last sexual contact then you are definitely hiv negative no matter how swollen your lymph nodes. if it is less than that time especially less than 6 weeks then you will need to get tested again 12 weeks from your last unprotected sex encounter to confirm the negative result. as for cancer that you would need to go to a doctor to determine but you should be checking yourself for lumps in other places (genitals breasts etc. )
i have 4 swollen lymph nodes does that mean hiv? even if i tested negarive after a year of unproctected sex? plz help. this lumps that may be swollen lymph nodes have been there for a long time. could it be cancer? or hiv? or could it be a reaction to the herpes infection i have <negative_smiley> someone please help me
