HIV Scare (please help)

So on the 10th of June I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a CSW and it was the first time (and last) cheating on my wife so you can imagine how terrible I felt. We are going to therapy for it now but that's a different story. Anyway, 4 days after the encounter I got tested and everything came back negative. Understanding that 3 days might not be enough I waited exactly 17 days and went and got tested again. I ended up paying for a PCR DNA HIV test and it came back negative. It has now been 3 weeks since the encounter and I am still worried that I might have contracted HIV based on my symptoms below.

1) I had a tingle on my penis and noticed these tingly little read bumps on my glands but the doctor reassured me it was normal and finally the tingling went away.

2) I have been very fatigued lately where I just want to sit down or lay down. I just got married and the stress of wedding and me cheating has definitely taken its toll on me. Not sure if its that or HIV infection.

3) I had this tingly prickly feeling all throughout my body including face, neck, head, butt, legs etc... It has now subsided after a week and I dont feel it anymore. I do have Generalized Anxiety Disorder with mild OCD so not sure it that triggered this response.

4) the day after my wedding I woke up with my left foot fat toe feeling numb. Its the weirdest thing in the world. I was drinking a lot the night before but dont know if that was the reason I am feeling this.

5) I have lost about 9 lbs in the past 3 weeks and mostly because I wasnt eating much because I was depressed about what I had done and I would sleep a lot too. I hope that its not cause I have HIV.

6) I had these little red bumps on my knee (about 4 or 5) and my doctor just said that it could have been bug bites and said that an STD wouldn't cause such a thing.

7) The night before my wedding (July 1st) I got nausea and I threw up. Ever since the encounter I have feel nausea but mostly when I think about what I did.

I am not going to lie, not one day has gone by were I don't come on to this site or others looking for info on HIV symptoms. My 4th week is coming up and I can say that other then what I mentioned, I haven't had any other symptoms. I feel so bad for what I did and I wish I could take it all away. Anyway, based on my symptoms, does it sound like HIV? Please help!!!

Your symptoms have nothing to do with hiv because you never had a risk,never required any testing and the reason is that you used protection and it didn,t fail you.Your safe so stop worrying and focus on your wife and the therapy.All the best.

So its a possibility that stress and anxiety has brought on some of my symptoms? I haven't been sleeping well lately so maybe that's why I don't feel like I have a tons of energy like i used to...
