It is a request -first be concise , there were too many information , not necessarily relevant to your problem.
Any way my answer is simple:
You are repeatedly exposing yourself some very high risk activities (anal sex) which may lead to HIV and STIs , so 'condom' your every sexual activity.
Secondly you have to test for HIV as per protocol to be 100% sure of being uninfected at base line and at 90 days of each unprotected exposure .So calculate yours last unprotected exposure and go for testing accordingly
Your swelling/bump around genital area need to evaluated and investigated in person . So visit your gynecologist for a proer management.
