| Response from Dr. McGowan
 Swollen lymph nodes could appear at any stage of HIV infection. People may have "persistent, generalized lymphadenopathy", which means swollen lymph nodes all over. What is unusual about your lymph node swelling is that it was only on one side and it went away in a couple of days. That wouldn't make me put HIV at the top of the list. It is more likely a local infection in the mouth or throat, a tooth, a cold sore perhaps. Best, Joe PS Thanks for the compliment | ||||||||
