What is wrong with me?? ARS? HIV? STI?

I had unprotected oral sex, and i have rimmed with a few guys. One or two of the times I may have had abrasions in my mouth. However I never let any of them ejaculate in my mouth. I am concerned if infected HIV precum had entered my mouth during this period and entered my blood stream through the abrasion in my mouth... I had gone for a Rapid HIV test about 3 and a half weeks after the last sexual encounter, which came back negative. And I had just gone last week for a second test (which would make it 9 weeks after my last encounter), which also has come back negative. However, I have been ill for a while during this period and I am worried that I have ARS symptoms or a STI. I have had enlarged lymph nodes for almost 3 1/2 months, cronic diahrea and abdominal pain right before I need to go the restroom. I had a colonoscopy done, which came back completely normal. So i have been given no real diagnosis for my diahrea or my enlarged lypmh nodes which has made my anixety gone out of control thinking I have ARS/HIV/STI. IHow long should symptoms last (specifically regarding my symptoms [lymph nodes and diahrea]) and when do they usually surface if i do indeed have ARS?
Most of all I would appreciate any insight as to why my lymph nodes are still swollen after 3 and a half months with chronic diarrhea, are their other STI's that can cause these symptoms to last for so long? I have no where else to turn, no one can figure out whats wrong with me, please help!
