My mom has had this swollen node on her neck for about 4 months now. It didnt hurt or anything at first, but it started to get bigger. After running through a bunch of tests like FNAC, turns out its a TB gland. We've been on TB meds for like 3 months now, but she's started feeling pain and theres pus building up inside the node. It hasn't gone down at all. What should we do?

I've had a couple of HIV tests after possible exposure. At 3 months, both the 4th gen rapid test and HIV antibody test from the lab came back negative. Then I waited until 5 months and did another 4th gen CMIA test for p24 AG and antibodies, and that was negative too. I'm really anxious about whether these results are conclusive. Do you think I need any more testing, or can I finally relax?
