still apprehensive

Dr. Hansfield or Dr. Hook: (I'm not sure how to post my question):
Back on October 5, 2007 I had unprotected vaginal sex with a 20 year-old escort here at my house first in my hot-tub (decided not to go find a rubber) then again in my bedroom for maybe 30 minutes. I've been "freaked-out" with worry and guilt about my chances of having caught hiv since then, but never had a headache, fever, rashes or nightsweats since then. I did get a coldsore on my lip at 10 and a half weeks that went away completely in a couple of weeks, and it hasn't returned in all these months, but it came at a time that I was so consumed with anxiety and speculation about all this that I just couldn't handle the scary thoughts that maybe there was a possibilty I Had been hiv infected from this encounter.
I did have an impromptu conversation with the csw when she called out of the blue to see who's number was in her log 6 weeks after the incident, and I told her I'd been paranoid . She replied, after I'd told her I'd been worried she had hiv that I just "scared the hell out of her" with that remark, that she is paranoid too, gets tested "on a regular basis, and in fact said she had just tested negative for hiv a couple of months ago which would have been about 2 weeks before we screwed. When i asked her: really? you say it was 2 months ago, she said:"yes, I just paid the bill as a matter of fact" Now its been 8 months and I won't see my family doctor for a physical until almost 6 months from now. Should I stop worrying for now?
