And this isn't what OCD is either.  It sounds more like you've developed a phobia about HIV.  I agree therapy seems like a good idea for you.

Your best course of action is to seek therapy.  You do not have HIV if you tested at the correct time.  Just because you have lymph nodes, that does NOT mean you have HIV.  There are a multitude of causes of swollen lymph nodes, and the least likely cause is HIV.
