HIV Fear

Dear Doctor,
i had posted earlier about my fear of HIV infection, i thought that i have exposure in 2011 when i start having a relationship with a my Girlfriend who i didn't know about her past, later on when i started developing a symptoms she performs a number of tests to proof that she is clear & HIV Negative. And she proofed it.
as for me i was developing all the symptoms in the book about HIV and i did a number of tests which is all negative ( last one was in January 2014 ) all are negative, i even had a swollen lymph nodes in  my neck & under jaws since then till now ( more than 3 years ) which i persistent and causing a hard to swallow feeling all the time.
as for now i developed a swollen lymph nodes on both Armpits , which is paining a lot.  
the doctor yesterday told me that it is a viral infection & she got worried when i told her about the neck & below jaws glands.

is there is any possibility of HIV after this long time & tests , or it maybe STD.
