Help doctors in the house, my lymph nodes in the neck and groins have been out since August 2011 i went to the doctor, did hiv test, negative and white blood cells count is okay. Please what could be causing this? I hope it is not lymphoma. What test do you recommend? Please help me before i die of fear.

Besides the lymphoadenopathy, what else did your doctor tell u that was not right with you after thoroughly examining You?
What is the nature of the lymph nodes when u toich them? Rubbery, hard, matted or painful to touch?
Well it's possible the WBC count you did was wrong. So as a confirmation you need to repeat the test.
Also, to rule out lymphoma you need to do lymph node biopsy as well as bone marrow biopsy.
Wishing you quick recovery!
