HIV anxiety Malaysia

My last negative test (eclia ag/ab) is 5month after unprotected recieving oral dan protected insertive vaginal (july 17). I had tested negative 3 time before that. But still i cannot stop thinking about testing again and again. Also tested negative on other Std. I felt like something stuck in my throat, no pain when swallowing food or drink but felt like something in my throat when i swallow own saliva. My anxiety worsen whenever i got sick eg. Cough or else. Please gave me some advise on what to do.

Testing over and over for a disease that you DO NOT HAVE will not help your anxiety.  If you did not trust in the last test, why would you trust the next test? Or the next after that?

You really need to talk to a therapist who can help you manage this anxiety.

Stop worrying, or, if you can't do that, stop having sex if you can't find the discipline to use protection.  Neither of the episodes you cite are going to give you a problem, so clearly this is an anxiety issue that has become focused on this issue.  What are you doing to control your anxiety?
