Hoping to be Worried Well

Two years ago I had unprotected vaginal sex with a man I later found out had multiple partners in the past. Not smart, I know.
About 6 months ago I was diagnosed with localized granuloma on my knee. It cleared up quickly with steroid cream but when researching it, I found it can be associated with hiv. The thought of having hiv had never crossed my mind until then. But about a month later, I developed a fungal infection on my left big toenail. And then things just seemed to spiral out of control. My hand started falling asleep at night (Dr. said it was carpal tunnel) but then I had tingling in my feet and other hand as well. I have also been diagnosed with HPV but my last pap was clean. I went for a routine physical and my doctor couldn't find anything wrong but I became so paranoid about swollen lymph nodes in my neck, I've now found them. Little moveable pea sized bumps that I can feel so easily.
Could this all be a coincidence? I know stress can cause tingling in my hands and feet and feeling for lymph nodes can cause them to swell. But the granuloma annulare, the nail change, the hpv...I can't image those.
I just ordered an Oraquick test and so desperately hope to join the Worried Well. Even typing this, part of me feels like I'm being crazy but I can't help it. Thanks for reading, I guess sometimes you just need to tell someone you are scared...
