Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Swollen glands can occur in many conditions. With this alone one cannot be labeled as HIV.
You had not mentioned about your sexual activities and about your sex partners.
There are tests available to confirm or rule out HIV after 3-4 weeks onwards.
You can consult your physician. He/she will guide in this regards.
