scareddddd is this HIV

I've had unprotected sex Sept 2012 with a girl that said she gets monthly check up and I have one single swollen node in my groin its been there every since then but that summer I twisted my ankle idk if it came from that or what. I am a really skinny person with a high metablism an I thought people that were really skinny can feel swollen nodes around there body. When I push down on my thigh my thigh kinda hurt and when I brush off my thigh I see skin flaking off plz tell me its not HIV!
Could be something else please help me I've been scared for two years even scared to get as check up

Your symptoms are nothing to do with HIV.

As you have had unprotected sex, it's worth getting a test fir your own peace of mind.

Even if she had HIV, which I doubt she did, there is only a 1 in 1000 chance that you would catch it from one exposure .

Get a test which I know will come back negative, you can then move on once and for all.

Best Wishes
