Go for HIV test to relieve your anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxx,

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

The appearance of symptoms of HIV depends on person to person. In some cases they will appear within few days or weeks of infection but in some they will take long time also. In your case symptoms are non-specific as they might be due to other causes also like tuberculosis or other bacterial or viral infection.

The best way to allay the fear or relieve your anxiety is to get tested for HIV. Then consult your physician, get done chest x-ray as well as other blood tests to isolate the cause for swollen lymph nodes, follow the advice and you will be fine soon. For any further query feel free to ask and I am always here to help you.

Thank You
