Hello.
I have swollen lymphnodes behind the ear, on the neck, arm and in the groin. Also pain in my muscles.
I did 2 HIV test 5 months and 8,5 months (both negative) after my situation (another person blood after car accident)
Can I be sure that I'm free of HIV?

Enlarged swollen lymph nodes in few regions, or systemic lymphadenopaty , could be due to other virus, bacteria or parasites infection, as well as due to some inflammatory systemic diseases, malignancy or even as a side effect of using certain medications.
Negative HIV test after 6 months period of possible HIV exposure is usually excepted as a reliable result.

See your physician for complete check up and finding the underlying cause for swollen lymph nodes!
