Your described activities carry no risk for HIV. And the one swollen lymph node is not a symptom of hiv. If lymph nodes swell due to hiv or other viral infection, they should swell more than one. If it's just one, it can be due to some bacterial infection. And the location indicates the area of possible source of infection.

are you sure? im sooo worried. even if he was hiv pos. are my chances really slow of contracting it since he did rub against my v maybe possibly went in a little bit?

I think you should have known if there was penetration. Normally deep penetration is needed for transmission.

Okay so I got tested with a rapid hiv test today and it came back negative. I made the calculations and its been 8 weeks to possible exposure. My questions are these;

1) Is the rapid hiv test effective? I got results in 20 min.  

2) Since it was neg. After 8 weeks do I need to retest again in a few weeks?

Thank you so much for your patience.

1) yes, effective
2) you don't need to test, because you had no risk. And your test result clearly shows that.

even if he went in for like 2 strokes in me without a condom? but then his d went down.

With the "2 strokes in you" the story has been changed now.... :)
Anyhow, testing at 8 weeks is unlikely to change. But if there was penetration, you should obtain conclusive result at 3 months.

Had you had unprotected sex you would have stated it in your first post.
