What Does Moveable Lumps Above Collar Bone Indicate?

I have 2 marble sized, moveable, NON-PAINFUL lumps just above my left collarbone...they roll around whenever i press down on them. they do not hurt at all...they have been there for atleast a month now. i do have genital herpes but not sure if that will cause clavicular node swelling. Any ideas? Is this a symptom of HIV even though i do not have any other early hiv symptoms?

Hi,Based on the facts of your query,these 2 lumps above your left collarbone,seem to be post traingle enlarged nodes.
Its relation with HIV or Herpes needs to be established by second opinion from your Dermatologist,as I don't have more information about your physical examination status,as you don't have any history/symptoms suggestive of HIV.
As these nodes are painless and mobile,they seem to be from TB?mostly.
Possibility of NHL/Lymphoma needs to be confirmed by CT chest and FNAC Biopsy of these nodes.
So until the HPR report of the FNAC biopsy is done,you should not worry of its causes.Leave it to your doctors.
Hope this reply would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you.
Welcome with any other further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
