I Have Been Having Enlarged Lymph Nodes For A Year And Half Now. Multiple Nodes Are Enlarged On My Neck Nodes Appeared/grew To Where They Are Over A Period Of 1-2 Months And Stayed Like That Since Then Is This Something I Need To Be Worried About?

Question: I have been having enlarged lymph nodes for a year and half now. Multiple nodes are enlarged on my neck (left supraclavicular node is the one most significantly enlarged but not externally visible), two under my jaw/chin and multiple ones (some appear to be matted, not sure of this) on both sides of groin. I didnt have any illnesses before the appearance of the nodes and nothing major since then apart from the occasional cold/sore throat. I am also not sexually active and dont do drugs. I also havent had any weight loss, tiredness or such symptoms since the nodes appeared. In fact i had a weight gain of about 5-10kg

Another point is that the nodes appeared/grew to where they are over a period of 1-2 months and stayed like that since then. The size of the nodes increase or decrease a bit everyday, depending on time of day, weather or if im tired etc.

Lastly, the supraclavicular node is the one i discovered last ( maybe 2 weeks after the groin nodes) and this appeared to be already fully grown/stayed the same size since then.

I have some questions about this. Any help would be much appreciated

1. Considering that i have had these nodes for a year and half without any other symptoms, is this something i need to be worried about?

2. Theoretically, if this was due to HIV (the only way i would have this is if someone pricked me with an infected needle without me noticing), would the fact that these grew over a month atleast, rule this out?

Many thanks for the help

Thank you

Could you also please let me know about second question. Since the nodes grew over 1-2 months, can hiv be completely ruled out? In hiv, does nodes grow very quickly?
