Help Me Calm Down

I am going through a really bad amount of anxiety which starts every night and continues...it is killing me. It all started about a month ago when I started college but moreso after meeting a girl from Tinder. I felt like an idiot doing it and it quickly escalated. She wanted me to finger her in a bookstore so I oblidged and she kissed me. She wanted to tongue but I was having non of it. I fingered her for a minute and stopped, it felt wrong and I wanted nothing to do with it. She talked about all these dudes she had been with, mostly fingering her and blowjobs. She is still a virgin. Ever since I have been scared that I got HIV. I went to the hospital for a stomach illness and they did a full blood panel on me, which came back negative for everything. I am still scared and it just won't go away even though I know how stupid it is to to think about it.

Does anyone have any tips of how to stop this?

R u sure there isnt anything else going on? You cannot get HIV from fingering a girl. Also if the test come back negative then your ok, your going to drive yourself nuts. I agree btw this girl doesnt sound like a virgin.

To add....I have been having nightly panic and anxiety attacks, which have just ruined my life. I have to take a Benedryl as it is the only thing to calm me down. During the day I am fine and tell myself how stupid I am for even thinking I could get HIV from a kiss or finger stimulation (no cuts on my fingers, checked closely that night and kept checking till I lost vision 'joking'), but at night my anxiety takes the reins and I am off to the races.
