need opinionsss

okay so a year to the day I had protected sex with a csw...not proud of it and wish it never happened but it did...iv had HIV anxiety for a year even though I took a pcr at 26 days ... antibody at 11 weeks and 8 months...iv been experiencing armpit pain with I think swollen glands in my armpit at 5 month since the the sex...idk if there swollen glands because sometimes they go away after a shower with soap...I had one in my right armpit at 5 months then one at 7-8 months then now at. year I just got one in my right groin...iv never been sick or sore throat...can someone point me in the right direction if it's not HIV can another STD cause this?...I took my tests with 2 online sites through labcorp

You never had an exposure in the first place from protected sex and your test confirmed that. You should just forget about this and move on with your life.
