Symptom v. Anxiety

What do you all think about this:

6.5 days ago had protected vaginal sex with dirtyish CSW.  Intercourse lasted no more than 30 seconds.  To make a long story short, she was menstruating and got some blood on the base of my penis and public area.  This caused me to freak at the time and over the past 6 days.  It's pretty much all I've been able to think about and was scared of it being HIV (because of the blood).  Today I started to calm down about the HIV (largely due to this forum).

Here's the thing, since then I've had different of my fingers become tingly/numb.  My fingers and toes are cold.  It mostly affected my pinky, but for example, right now my pinky is fine and my middle finger is tingly/numb and the sole of my right foot is tingly/burny.  At times it is the palms of my hands or soles of my feet.  Over the past day I've begun to feel itchy on my legs, chest and scrotum.

I understand much of this may be due to stress/anxiety (though this has subsided some), poor sleep, or psychosomaticism.

Please can Vance, Teak or Lizzie Lou (or others for that matter) assess what is going on with me?
