Hi
Welcome to the forum!
It is very difficult to diagnose the cause of groin lymphnode on net. However there are various possibilities that you can look into. Groin lymph nodes swell up in various conditions, the commonest being infection of the genitals. A viral infection, inguinal hernia, hydrocele, drug reaction, cancer and STD can all cause a swollen lymph node in the groin. Besides HIV, other infections like Chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas etc should be looked into—that is you need to get a complete STD panel done.
Eczema, dermatitis including sweat dermatitis, and fungal infection like Tinea cruris can also cause a swollen lymphnode in the groin.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
