HIV and LYMPH nodes

Posible HIV exposure about 13 weeks ago. Have one simple question.

I've been having lymph node AREA soreness for about 8 weeks. I haven't been able to locate and swollen lymph nodes themselves, but the pain is in the area of the lymph nodes in the neck, left elbow, groin, kidney area, and behind and below my right knee. If it is coming from the lymphs, shouldn't they be SWOLLEN or ENLARGED?

Testicles have hurt off and on the whole time, also.....

Please help ease my mind....

what was your risk?

Swollen lymph nodes does not mean you have HIV, the only way to tell if you are HIV Positive is to take a test.
