Does Swollen Supraclavicular Nodes On Left And Right Sides Indicates HIV Infection?
hello doctor, I had a sex with a guy last month and I think he is HIV positive, I made PCR RNA blood test after 12 days and got Negative results and I did another PCR DNA test+Anti bodies after 21 days and I got negative results. but the problem is I feel I have a swollen supraclavicular nodes on my left and right sides, does that relates to HIV infection? and how accurate are PCR RNA and DNA tests with the period time I did the tests. I am so worries about it I cant sleep.

You need to be assured that this is not due to HIV, As HIV pictures take months to appear. If possible try to get p 24 antigen test. This test is 100 % proof of HIV so if this is negative than it will be sure sign of negative HIV. Meanwhile i think you should take some medication to decrease chances , you should consult with a physician.
