Help me please, am going MAD!

I once went to the hospital because my penis was touched by lady while i had a few scratch on it and feared she had cut on her hand,although i have never had sex but after 3 months i went to the hospital because i was having some hiv sypmtoms,my mom followed me to the hospital to do a test and she even assured me that nothing is wrong with me,after the test the result is negative and i could still remember that before i went for the test while i was playing with my little brother,i noticed that he got some blood on his leg from my injury,some week later i noticed he started having some unexplained small injuries that let some few black spots,i know i don't have hiv but i just feel like am going crazy,few months later after i did the test,while playing ball i had an injury on my palm and while i went outside i shook hands with some guys and am scared because i don't know their status then the fear of hiv resumed again,whenever i shake hands with people i check  my hand because i fear i might have gotten some blood on my hand from the person i had an handshake with,there was another day that my saliva touched my brother's wound,now am just scared because my brother has been coughing and the cough is going to a week now,i have been having a small swell in specific area at the lower part of my neck,that swell is gone now but another small swell has come in a different area on my neck.Please i wish i would find help here,am about to resume for school now and am scared i would not be able to concentrate.AM GOING CRAZY PLEASE!

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

It doesn't matter because HIV is not transmitted that way.
