Advice to get over this HIV Anxiety

I am new to this site and have what most would probably call an anxious concern.  4 months ago I received oral to completion from a woman (CWS) with unkown status. As stupid of a mistake as this was, my anxiety soared.  I was tested the following weeks:

5 days and 20 days- Gonorrhea/Chlamydia Testing- NEGATIVE

82 days- Syphillis Testing- NEGATIVE

112 days (16 weeks)- Hep A,B,C testing- NEGATIVE

5 weeks (36 days), 7 weeks (51 days), 9 weeks (62 days), 11 weeks (78 days), 12 weeks (84 days), 14 weeks (99 days)- Oraquick Advanced Antibody HIV 1/2 oral swab- All NEGATIVE.  

As this was not enough, I decided to test at 104 days (15 weeks)- 3rd generation EIA HIV 1/2 AB w/ refelxes- NEGATIVE.

I have since been seeing a therapist for these irrational and anxiety ridden views.  How can I move on and start enjoying life again. Thank You. Please advise.

Thank you.  As I had no idea of the no risk.  I was misinformed by my Dr. stating that this was a high risk activity.  In turn, as you see my anxiety has got the best of me 7 tests later.  Again, thank you for your input. Greatly appreciated.
