Continuous HIV Anxiety

I had a high risk exposure of HIV and had been tested negative. However, I had HIV anxiety since then. Although I knew that kissing or eating or some scenarios like that dont transmitted HIV but I still thinking about that.

It makes me depressed and I always suspect that if I am infected, and cause me a lot of pain. I mainly panic about
the seats of taxis since there was  ONLY ONE reported cases about HIV needle attack and now I cant take a cab.
I always take photos to make sure there were no blood on that surface if I touch it.

It cause me a lot of pain, please help me!!!
