A friend of mine experiences swollen nymph nodes and swollen gums. she is scared she might have hiv? Well, she should know what riskful behaviour she engaged in. Swollen lymph nodes can be a sign of aids. But it is also a sign of many other things. Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in neck can be due to the mono virus or due to strep throat. Various viruses can cause some swelling of lymph nodes for a time. Localized bacterial infection can cause locally swollen lymph nodes for a time. Cancer can cause locally swollen lymph nodes and Lymphoma causes swollen lymph nodes. Swollen gums can be caused by poor dental hygiene and bad teeth, also by Scurvy, which is vitamin C deficiency. Source(s): I am ER doc. Tell her to get tested! Better safe then sorry. I think she needs to go get tested.I also don't think it really sounds like it. Here is a list of symptoms: Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, get a flu-like illness within three to six weeks after exposure to the virus. This illness, called Acute HIV Syndrome, may include fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, diarrhoea and enlarged lymph nodes (organs of the immune system that can be felt in the neck, armpits and groin). These symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month and are often mistaken for another viral infection. During this period, the quantity of the virus in the body will be high and it spreads to different parts, particularly the lymphoid tissue. At this stage, the infected person is more likely to pass on the infection to others. The viral quantity then drops as the body's immune system launches an orchestrated fight. More persistent or severe symptoms may not surface for several years, even a decade or more, after HIV first enters the body in adults, or within two years in children born with the virus. This period of "asymptomatic" infection varies from individual to individual. Some people may begin to have symptoms as soon as a few months, while others may be symptom-free for more than 10 years. However, during the "asymptomatic" period, the virus will be actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells of the immune system. It is possible but have her check for other things first. Does she have an infection of sorts? Earring hole infected, cut that has become infested. My daughter had swollen lymph nodes and I was scared she had a form of cancer. Leukemia to be more pr茅cis. She had an infection somewhere in her body that caused her nodes to swell up around her neck. She was put on antibiotics for 6 weeks. Harsh yes, but it cleared up and she is very healthy now. Tell her to get tested for everything. YOu are a good friend. |
