Worried that I have it

Hi everyone, i have been freaking out, so here goes my story. last year 2014 from january till april end I had received oral sex with ejaculation from 5 different women and fingered them, i have eczema cuts, sometimes deep, never actively bleeding but they are there on my fingers. So no penetrative sex of any kind.  I decided in May 2014 to do an oraquick cheek swab and that came back negative, did a clearview complete hiv 1/2 rapid test in october 2014 and january 2015 both were negative.  The first clearview the nurse took the first drop of blood not the second as directed so thats why the second one in january. Now i thought i was over this fear, but for the past two months my routine blood work showed low platelet count, around 80 thousand, the normal range is 150k to 450, all the other blood perimeters are fine. The doctor suspects idiopathic thrombocytopenia. Could I have hiv and all the tests I did were wrong?? I am very scared, please help.

thanks vance, is the clearview test trustable after the amount of time I had it? also would the first drop vs second drop make a difference just trying to see if my first trust was acceptable in october.
