anxiety disorder

i had an intercourse with a prostitute 7weeks ago but it is protected but i've been anxious and worried since then,i've experienced all kind of hiv symptoms like headache which distorted my vision and sense of hearing,poor appetite with persistent stuffy which started five days after the intercourse till today being the eighth week,persistent stooling,poor sexual urge,for the past four  days i've been having a pain on my shoulder but it is not swollen and am suspecting it's swollen lymph node.i have gone for a test 7 days,6weeks and yesterday the monday of the eighth week but the test is all negective and am waiting for 4weeks and 4days to go for the final 3month test and am anxious.i informed my doctor he said it anxiety disorder and the nurse i meet yesterday said it s also anxiety disorder.so guys is possible that anxiety could give related symptoms like that?

pretty easy to figure out if it's anxiety or not IF you will listen to the facts regarding hiv.

1...you had PROTECTED sex
2...condoms prevent the transmission of hiv
3...if someone experiences symptoms of ars...they start at 2-4 WEEKS post exposure and last for 1-2 weeks
4...NEITHER the timing NOR your description of "symptoms" are indicative of hiv.

accept your status and your symptoms will just magically disappear.
