Do I have OCD, or am I actually sick?

Allow me to rephrase that. I do have OCD, I know I do.
From being in fourth grade, feeling the need to stick my tongue out every twenty seconds because I felt I was going to swallow my tongue and die, to have a full blown panic attack because I swore I left the stove on and would burn my house down even though I didn't use the stove at all that day or even week.

I always think I'm dying. It's usually a heart attack/stroke, but sometimes it's other things, like a brain tumor or epilepsy.

Lately I've been terrified that I have HIV. A few years ago I not only had unprotected sex, but I also got a home tattoo with a few friends by some guy my close friend knew. I don't know if he used the same needle or not, but he tattooed a few of my friends that night and works in a tattoo shop as well.

I've had a couple tests and they've all tested negative, but I know it doesn't always show until 10 years. Now even though I myself AM scared of HIV, I'm more scared that I gave it to my ex girlfriend. I've had sex with her many times, but she only went down on me once, and I did not ***, although I was very wet so some of my juice went in her mouth.
I'm terrified that I ruined her life and I'm thinking about how I'd tell her and how I'd kill myself.
I'm currently on vacation and I can't even enjoy myself because I'm so scared I ruin the girl I love's life.

Is this OCD? Or am I actually a terrible person?
