scared of hiv

Ok so  recently i posted i had this lump under my armpi, i found out that its a lymph node,  i found out that you get this when your body is fighting an infection. The thing is that im not sick or atleast i dont feel sick. I been streesing alot cause of the situation i got my self in almost 4 weeks ago. I had sex with this two Females down in mexcio, i didnt know them, i would consider them high risk in std or hiv. I had protected sex with both of them, i used a different condom with each, and used it from start to finish. im really scared. and dont know whats the cause of the Lymph node, can someone help please?

You didn't have a risk to begin with. If you have a concern with your underarm see your doctor. It has nothing to do with HIV.

Well its not a ingrown or a pimple nor a boil, i would be able to identify them. And it only hurt for the first 3 days, now even if i touch it it doesnt not even if i do ir hard, but i think it got kind of smaller, and its like bellow the skin, not like a pimple or ingrown. what do you think?

How about an ingrown hair, a pimple or a starting of a boil. Swollen lymph nodes with HIV does not hurt nor are they painful when you press on it.
