Severe OCD and hiv thoughts

Hello, I was diagnosed with OCD about 2 yrs ago. I have had no relief from the symptoms and they are very bad right now. I deal with intrusive thoughts and always think I have been exposed to HIV. I am on zoloft and havent noticed anything too different yet. I feel like this will never go away and at time I get suicidal because of the HIV fear. I always am second guessing myself. When I have people over I think that something happened and I will get a hiv test (about 125 to date) does anyone else suffer with this?

i'm on test 21 all negative Thank God - but live in fear everyday and have tested to a year post incidence.
Last set of tests were an Elisa (no antibodes) a western blot (no proteins etc) and a pcr (no virus) but due to the perfect nature of symptoms inc pharyngitus for a year etc -
can't move on
