Good evening lybrate-user ji. Any person who is infected with hiv can be diagnosed after 21-28 days of exposure with a simple antibody test. In people who are hiv infected, all most all of them will be diagnosed with in 3 months and virtually all of them by 6 months. So in your case, as of now you are free from hiv but I advice you to repeat one last time after 180 days of exposure. 4th generation duo combo kits are well advanced and they are being used in all blood banks to test donated blood for immediate result of hiv status. The swolen lymphnodes on neck and armpit you have mentioned are may be due to other sti like syphilis etc. And flu maybe due to your partner's airway infection. Your physician might got tested you with vdrl test which will ruleout the status of syphilis of which the reports you have not provided. Hence I request you to stay calm and get treatment for all other complications and please get tested for hiv one last time after 180 mdays since exposure. I have more than 10 years experience treating hiv disease and please contact if you still need further assistance.
