Worry of transmitting serious HPV to girlfriend because of ex.

My long term girlfriend and i broke up after 2 years and i ended up getting drunk and sleeping with an old ex girlfriend without protection. Now I never do that kind of thing so I went totally paranoid and ill with worry and even started urinating at least once an hour (not at night though) for about a week, and decided that I had every disease known to man. I decided to bite the bullet and get a checkup. So did the girl, she got a pap smear and a blood test, I have never been tested before for anything, despite a number of sexual partners, so I got tested for everything in the book, and I mean everything. It all came back clear. Her results were fine also, both pap smear and blood test.

Anyway I got back with my ex girlfriend who I love dearly, about a month after this,  and then days later the girl I hooked up with in the in between part told me that she had gone to get cysts on her ovaries taken out and they had found cancerous cells in a tumour there, in her cervix. They are now waiting further news. She told me not to worry because the pap smear had been fine etc.

Basically I started reading up on this and now im so scared I have given my girlfriend possible cervical cancer because of (HPV) I am making myself ill. I guess I just need to know whether I should throw myself off a cliff, because the more I read the more ill I am making myself ill with worry and I feel terrible.

Can someone enlighten me?

I also seem to have a reddish rash patch around the tip of my penis, its just like a reddening on the skin, and the whole dome looks really wrinkly. Im mentally looking for warts now, and i dont know if im going nuts. Basically the skin is reddish, and if i drag my skin back (uncircumsized) it is reddish too. It doesnt hurt and isnt sensitive, there might be some small raised bits or it might just be wrinkly. Is this possible warts? Do i need to calm down?

In all seriousness, you don't have to live like that - the anxiety must drive you crazy.  Talk to your doctor about a referral to a counselor.

Throw yourself off a cliff I hope is just a figure of speech.
To start HPV is not horrible and most people at some point in there life get it. And most women who get it, it does not turn into cancer.

You need to stop worrying and stop reading everything on line known to man. is it possible you got something from this woman and then gave it to your girlfriend...yes.

Unless you develop warts then you do not have HPV. My wife had HPV years ago and I never got it. It has cleared from her body and no cancer for her.
