I have a small light red lump under my armpir, it hurts when i touch it.

Well i was coming from a nightout when i felt something hurting under my left armpit. I discover it was a small kind of redish lump, i though it was an insect bite at first, but the next day i realized it wasnt. i had it for 3 days now and dont know what it is, or why i got it. I read that this is one of the symptoms that HIV gives, and i did had sexual inercourse with two women in Mexico  that i didnt know, like 3 1/2 weeks ago, i used new condom's with them, a new one with each we didnt do it for a long time, like 3-5 minutes each. I was wondering if could had  been infected with HIV, i dont have any other symptoms like a flu or anything. But that lump that hurts when i touch it. Im really worried i got infected, if someone can help please!

I have lump under my armpit, it's a little red and it only hurts when you put pressure on it, also I'm very young around 13-14 so idk if I should be concerned, yes I do shave my armpits and sometimes in a rush with a dry razor without putting water on my armpits or shaving cream. I also noticed some blue veins on my breast and they feel sore?

The only possible way to get infected with condom use is if it fails or you didn't use the condom consistently from beginning to end.
