With most cases of depression there is many times obsession with health, especially with sex health.  From what i have read, most times HIV does not show up for years after the sexual encounter...it may be a good idea to return to that doctor who prescribed depression medicine to you and tell him/her that you don't think your dose is working and that you have become obsessed with health issues.  There are many types of meds that may help you..

Good luck to you
