Hi,

As per your description it seems like you are having unwanted fear of disease, which is known as “hypochondria”. No need to worry about HIV as you had most sensitive tests and clearly you are negative. Sudden appearance of multiple lipomas are unusual and it could be something else.

Lipodystrophy will not present like this. If the lumps persist, you can consult a physician and get evaluated. Wishing you good health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
