If you are truly concerned why not go to the doc. and ask for a HIV test.  Usually it will fully show up within 6 months, but most the time by 1.  Then you can be at peace.  If you dont want to say you have been with a prostitute I would say something like I just found out a x my have slept with someone who has these things.  I know it can be scary but if you are truly concerned then I would go.  Also if you are friends with here you may be able to ask her maybe she was recently testes or something.  She maybe able to relieve some fears.

I may suggest talking to a professional about your anxiety.  Your anxiety and stress have began to severely interfere with your productive life.  By professional I would first suggest someone in counseling and clinical psychology, a General Practice Doctor would be my second choice.  For good quality and inexpensive counseling - often you can find information about clinics at a near by University.

Here is a techniques for dealing with anxiety:

First bring your anxieties to conscious awareness and assess how reasonable they seem.  If you decide most of the concerns are a bit (or totally) irrational, see if you can just quietly let them pass?

Controlled breathing, meditation, and other positive relaxation techniques are a few other immediate thoughts.

By all means, make a plan to have your STD/HIV test on a regular interval.  Pay attention to your physical health - while remembering to live your life and embrace the positive side of everything.  At least you can say you learned something!
