HIV negative 6 months ago but still worried

Hello Doctors

At 11 April 2016 i had unprotected oral (sex worker had received oral sex to me) and protected vagina sex to her.
Because of received oral sex, i was scared (i was thinking her mouth had some blood) and i was tested 3 week later, 9 weeks later, 3 months later, 4 months later, 5,5 later and finally 6 months later (at 13 October 2016), all test were negative with method ELISA 3 generation and ECLIA 4 generation. But i have still some worries.

First of all i have hypothyroidism Hashimoto from 2014 and i take medication (one pill every day- levothyroxine T4) and i am worried if my hypothyroid can delay my HIV test (i think all these negative results maybe was false negative results).

Secondly i had done something very stupid, i had read and have done search very much into Google all these months (6 months) and I've found a blog from some person who worry me about window period of HIV, the link is here : http://christophervshiv.blogspot.gr/2010/09/hivs-latest-victim-approximately-one.html  

So doctors, i need you help, please weak me up to go back to my normal life, i have been so worried with the idea maybe i was infected with HIV and i know the chance of someone to infect from receiving oral sex is very rare but as i said i had done search in Google, and this was very stupid. Especial this blog i had read drives me crazy.

Nothing you did put you at risk for HIV.  

Risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.

That's it.  Nothing else you can think of is a risk.   No unprotected penetration = no risk.

Even if you had had a risk, your Hashimoto's doesn't interfere with the test, and you would be conclusively negative.  But you are negative no matter what as you had NO RISK.
