However, just this past month, I noticed a lymph node swelling near my wrist, but it's not painful and I haven't noticed any other symptoms in my body. I'm feeling a bit concerned and just want to know if there's a possibility of the TB lymph nodes returning?

I took an HIV 1 and 2 antibodies screening and an HIV 1 and 2 p24 combo test 86 days after I was exposed. The results came back negative. Can I be sure that's conclusive at this point?

A negative HIV 1&2 antibodies and p24 combo test after 86 days (approximately 3 months) of exposure is highly suggestive of non-infection, but not conclusive. Here's why: Reasons for Caution 1. Window period: HIV antibodies may take up to 3-4 months to develop. 2. False negatives: Rare, but possible due to laboratory errors or test sensitivity. 3. Viral load: Low viral load may not trigger antibody production. Next Steps 1. Repeat testing: Schedule another HIV test 3-6 months after initial exposure.
