HIV Negative at 13 weeks and Anxiety?

I had a sexual encounter with a sex worker 4 months ago.I double bagged the condoms,but they didnt break i guess!...i became paranoid and guilt ridden instantly!!I had a rapid test and DNA PCR test at 7 weeks and they both were negative. I then took another rapid tridot test at 13 weeks..that also negative!..so am i fussing over nothing??..Am I HIV negative or do i need to do another test at 6 months??...How do i get over the guilty feelings and lead a normal happy life???

Only persons that are on chemo, antirejection drugs for organ transplant and chronic IV drugs abusers are the only ones that may need to test longer than 3 months.

YOU NEVER HAD AN EXPOSURE.

It says that persons with high risk scenarios should only retest at 6 months. AS far as i am concerned , i had used condoms..and taking into account my negative reports it is safe to assume that i donot fall into that category and am DEFNITELY negative??
