Are Recurring Cysts On Butt Related To HIV?

Hi I'm currently freaking out thinking I have hiv. I have recurring cysts on my butt (sorry to be frank) and I got tested 2 days ago but don't have the results back yet. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I was very foolish for a long time. Are the cysts & hiv somehow related? And is there anything you can tell me to possibly calm my nerves? I can't get it off my mind & my depression is making it even worse...

Thanks for the consult:
1, First kindly give the information that you are sexually active or not if you are sexually active then are you practicing unprotected/protected sex
2. Let me explain which you are feared that recurrent cysts on the back of the buttock (butt) may be due to
a) Bacterial infection because of irregular bathing and the cyst when bulges and broken down which liberate pus and this pus can infect the surrounding skin of the buttock
