swollen lymph nodes or just anxiety

you all know my story but I went to the doctor and told him that I had little balls inside the neck. he told me we all had those, and it's because of the way we move our neck. is he right or nodes are swollen. ive seeing 5 medics the past week plus one today

Bro, you're good. HIV is rarely transmitted heterosexually, and even then it usually requires multiple exposures AND penetration. You did not experience any risk of contracting HIV and have nothing to worry about.

never experienced fever or diarrhea though. when I learned what were window periods I freaked out and I got sick again. now I can't stop self diagnosing myself and I spent my days doing research on everything hiv related. I also got tested yesterday

cause I am a 21 year old virgin who went to strip club on 12 September 2014 to get a masturbation but somehow I felt her vagina touched my penis and I've been freaking out ever since. I experienced all the so called symptoms a week later and got tested on September 19 2014 and it was negative. somehow I didn't believe the test so I freaked out and went sick again until September 27 when I saw the doctor once again and told me I was negative. my symptoms stoppage the same day and I started living my life again. every thing came back on October 25 when I noticed my palms were sweating so I freaked out because that's what I got the first time. once again, I've been having night sweats tremors, been barely eating and my tongue got white! I went to see a psy yesterday and gave medication to calm down but today I noticed this little thing inside the neck. I have two on each side. I'm always checking my body for signs. last time I went to the doctor, she told we all those and it's caused by the way our neck is positioned. but please dont delete this post :(

Please explain why you are concerned about swollen nodes. Lymph nodes can swell for a number of reasons. Especially if you have been attempting to self diagnose by palpating them yourself.
