What Do Mouth Ulcers And Swollen Lymph Nodes Under The Arms Indicate?
Hi, it s been 9 weeks since possible exposure to hiv. I tested negative at 11 days using PCR RNA hiv test, also again negative at 5 weeks using 4th generation test (I was on truvada at the time for prevention) and again negative at 6 weeks using PCR RNA hiv test. I have been diagnosed for herpes 1 and 2 as well as h. Pylori. I have a few small canker sores on the inside of my gum, small but swollen lymph nodes under both arms, lost 9lbs post possible exposure. I have had low grade fever for 6 weeks. What could be the possible cause ?
First of all no need to worry for HIV infection as all your reports are negative. Your all symptoms are due to herpes infection. It takes usually 2-3 weeks for complete recovery after herpes infection. So wait for 2-3 week more. Drink plenty of fluids orally. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have answered your query.
