Hi Shaina.
How are you doing?
There is a need to find out what is causing those lymph nodes to appear.  Most of the time, infection is the cause of lymph node enlargement.  However, there are other conditions that can present with enlarged lymph nodes.  Lymphoma is an example.
You already had an ELISA test for HIV which turned out to be negative.  You may need to undergo additional test in order to find out the cause.  Perhaps a biopsy of one of the lymph nodes can be done.  
It would be best to go back to your doctor for additional tests.
Good luck.
