I am showing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes near the hinge joint , frequent flu and many pimples on face. this is worrying me at age of 28 no one gets pimples, but i am getting them.I am not able to focus on anything my life is mess. its 6 weeks now and waiting for window to complete to get tested. what would have been the risk of this transmission i my case? is a six weeks test conclusive and they ask for prescription for a HIV DUO test , can you give me a prescription ? for getting tested , kindly tell what i should i do my lymph nodes are bothering me. as of now its only in epitrichelar lymph nodes which i read is an indication of HIV infetion.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry. You can rely on the current report.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The likelihood of HIV spreading in this manner is low, nevertheless, it is possible. An HIV test however, should be reassuring. A six week test is reliable and conclusive and I do not suppose that you need to wait any longer. However, negativity at longer durations can be more reassuring. I do not suppose that the mentioned issues are actually due to HIV and do not suppose that the lymph nodes are a cause for concern.

If you want to retest or if you want an HIV DUO test done, you can get a prescription from the urgent care/ER but I would not be able to provide a prescription due to the limitations of this platform.

Hope I have answered your query.
