2)İs swollen glands 1 mounth after infection normally?I heard that if somebody infected swollen glands will be 2-3 years later.İs this info. true or not?
Pls explain what you know about swollen glands on neck and sohre throat info...

You've got a bunch of ideas about HIV in what you have written and they are WRONG. So please listen up.
Swollen glands in your neck or elsewere are not an HIV-specific symptom. Swollen glands occur for many non-HIV-related causes.
You are now more than 13 weeks past your unprotected incident so you can test now and get a reliable result, which is what I recommend that you do. HIV doesn't hide out and then show up years later. If you have HIV in your body it would show by now.
In your particular case there are several factors strongly in your favor against infection. First of all it was a single incident. It's much more difficult to transmit HIV from female to male. And it is not an easy virus to transmit. All of those factors lead me to expect you will test negative.
You do need to learn from this experience. Everytime you have unprotected intercourse you are putting your health and your life at risk. It's as simple and harsh as that. You can have all the sex you want and it doesn't matter with whom. Just make sure that you are wearing a condom everytime. It's also very dangerous to mix drinking too much with impulsive sex because it makes it easy to forget about practicing safer sex.
This time the odds are in your favor that you will come out ok. Get tested and collect what I expect will be a negative result.
Discuss your symptoms with your doctor to find out the real cause.
Good luck on your test.
Cheers,

tanx Andy...

Fortunately feelings aren't facts so although you may have scary ideas I do expect you will test negtive.
Good luck with your test. And make sure to speak with your doctor about those swollen glands.

I don't understand what you are referring to when you write about "combos." Please clarify.
Also, what was your risk? I haven't checked to see if you have previous threads and can't help wondering why you are thinking we would be blocking your entries?
Like I said, please clarify. Make it in simple, declarative sentences please.

Your 75 day test is not likely to change. Go get your conclusive negative result and be done with it.

Lost,
Your 82 day negative result is not going to change. You will have another negative result today and you will not need further testing. Your current test is way outside the window period and will be conclusive.
We cannot tell you what is going on with your lymph nodes. Keep your hands off them, because that will make them swell and keep them swollen. If they continue to bother you even after you stop touching them all the time, go to a doctor.

Hi... I have last question about my result.
My last test was 21 weeks after my unprotected intercourse...So it came neg. but there was nothing about my level of antibody ,just written NEGATİVE...I asked to them they said me its ELİSA...Am I retest again another lab. or is it enough?
Can anybosy explan differences of antibodys level and just written NEg.?
Thanx...İt last qıestion:)
-
Lost,
You are absolutely conclusively negative. You do not need further testing. If there were no levels of antibodies reported on your test, it is because there were no antibodies present. You can't measure the level of something that isn't there.
You are hiv negative. Please move on with your life and remember to always use condoms for intercourse. Do that and you will continue to avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple.

Your question makes no sense. However, you have tested negative at 5.5 months. You are conclusively negative and do not need further testing over this incident.

Your original post.
You are negative by the way. CONCLUSIVELY negative.
-
Lost, I've merged your previous threads into this one. Please keep all your comments and questions here.
You are worrying needlessly about HIV. Hopefully your next negative test result will convince you of that.
Simply because you are still having symptoms including swollen nodes doesn't mean it's about HIV. You need to be talking with your doctor(s) to find out the real cause of your symptoms.
Good luck with that.
-
Thanks andy...
I prefer limph nodes Cancer to HIV ...
take care

Swollen lymph nodes happen for all sorts of reasons and often for reasons which have nothing to do with either HIV or cancer.
You need to be discussing the matter with your doctor(s).
Good luck with getting it addressed successfully.
