How long does swelling lymph nodes glands last in hiv infection?

Hi, I would like to ask, how long does swelling lymph nodes should last after hiv infection. Is if a temporary swelling, or it will be occasional?

Thank you.

Best regards

Hi Shine @ well my side neck (below the ear) lymph nodes were swelling for about 2 months after suspected signs of ARV; I sported slight feverish and nauseatic, muscle ache, back in June. I suspected I contracted via unprotected receptive anal sex in May. The ARV's subsided early July, but the lymph nodes are obvious on the neck, bulging up with no pain up to Sept. Meaning that, it will not come back anymore? Because now by touching it I thought I can still feel something on the left (but not visible, while right side not so obvious to the touch now).

I have not gotten tested nor sought medication, as I am now working overseas, in a more conservative country which I may face deportation etc. So now I am resorting to natural remedies which I can find online.
