I used to have a daughter who had swollen lymph nodes at the back of her neck. They were visible. Her doctor asked me if I knew what that was and assuming he was talking about HIV, I said yes. My daughter later on died of a penicillin reaction. I had tested positive for HIV when she was about to turn three years old. I never had her tested but the lymph nodes were visible.

Another way to tell is mbae feeling the lymph node. Mbae touch.

Don't overwhelm yourself with information on the Internet too much. Not everybody is right you know.

All the best to you.

also they hurt a little...at least mine did..but swollen lymph nodes can be from many many things..you have to get tested for HIV to know if you have it...you really do...

Get tested. A lot of people on the internet may not be professional and suggest different things. To the hospital for you.

Temporary1, right, it is always better to know so you can start to heal and not knowing is worse than knowing...at least it was for me..once you know, you can take action and start on the road to wellness..
