hiv fear

hello. Guys i think i have ocd too. I'm always scared about hiv. Here is my last story. I went to check my blood for hiv in hospital when nurse took my blood i didnt see when she opened syringe's plastic cover. But needle's peak was covered by cover. And i asked her is it new she replied ofcourse new. Then i tried to checked needle it was looks new and was not anything like blood or other fluid. But now i'm always used to think about that and got scared. Again i checked my blood after 45 days (for hiv it is negative)  after that. Now i'm always feel unhappy thinking of hiv my like is going very very difficult. You guys suggest me to checke my blood again ? Please guys give me your openian to me so that i can feel peace.  Thank you very much to al
