Hello,
Thanks for the consult:
1. Please tell that why you are testing for HIV only because of swollen lymphnodes. Is you are sexually active and practicing unprotected sex?
2. If yes then the 1st basic test after 6 weeks of hiv exposure is Tridot test but it is not accurate like Western Blot Test.
3. If you have doubt do the Tridot test again after 2-4weeks and confirm it by Western blot test
4. If you can't wait for 2-4 weeks then there is a test which you can done is p24 antigen test which is positive less than 1 month if you are infected with HIV
5. As you get Tridot negative after 6 weeks you may not be infected with hiv so don't worry be happy
This information will help you
