swollen fat armpits and hiv

i have had swollen fat puffy soft armpits for about 3 yrs now. i had 4 times unprotected sex with a gurl of high risk 3 yrs ago and have tested twice after a yr of exposure and then again after a yr and tested negative. in between that also i had alot of sex but all protected. i dont know why my armpits are still swollen i am thinking if hiv remained dormant and did now show up when i had the tests. otherwise what would be the reason for my armpits to be swollen underarms for so many yrs. can anyone help me on this pls .

thanks alot for the quick reply and assurance. but then y are these painless puffy generalised lymph nodes not going away for 3 yrs now and i feel fatigued and tired dark circles. what kind of std do u think i have. i am getting married in a few weeks and am worried , i am scared to get another hiv test. do u think i might have got hiv from the protected 15 exposures i had? a hiv speacalist once told me one cannot get hiv unless my penis end the opening gets in contact with the hiv virus and not the skin of the penis. is that true?. my condom never broke or slipped off the tip to be exposed.

i also have painless swollen groin i dont know if my nexk nodes are swollen, also my exposures after that were all protected about 15  or them, but unprotected BJ'S. my armpits swelling do not go at all , they are fat and painless also. do you think i have got some kind of std or hiv stayed dormant all the while. i also have sever digestion problems. most people say hiv related swollen lypmh nodes are genralised and painless, so i am very worried as i have them. its been almost three years now. got tested 8 months after the unprotected exposure and then again one year after that for visa renewal in dubai as one has to test for hiv to work.
