I am very worried at the moment as my groin nodes seem to be slightly raised, more so on the one side, i have been to the doctors and they said everything is fine. since i came back from the doctors 3 days ago i have been poking them constantly which i think may have irritated them hence making them slightly more swollen. i tend to worry alot and i recently kept looking online and the main thing it says is generalised lymph swelling is common in HIV. I have always been too scared to get a hiv test for like 3 and a half years. i put myself at risk 3 and a half years ago and since getting with my boyfriend i have been with knowone else as i do love him. I decided after so many years of anxiety to go for a rapid hiv test and the result came back as non reactive meaning negative. This cannot obviously be in relation to HIV as i have had a test way outside the window period and it came back negative. why am i still worrying when the doctor has siad things are fine and i am hiv negative. is one hiv test enough?

Hi,

I would suggest moving your thread onto the HA board as it seems more relevant there and a lot of people use that board so I think you are more likely to get more responses.

No one thinks you are being stupid, its all part of the anxiety cycle so people will understand how you are feeling, the HA guys & girls certainly will.
