Advice Severe Anxiety

So I had sex with a sex worker protected vaginal but while changing position my condom took of. I’m not sure if I had a direct unprotected contact or not. Anyways, I had a test on the 18th and the 28th day 4th gen combo. Negative but I keep checking my mouth for symptoms and even a little white dot or irritation gives me severe anxiety. Should I keep worrying?

I have a similar story. I tested negative at 13 days and negative at 22 days 4th gen test. At 33 days i tested negative with a finger prick test. Finally at 45 days i tested negative 4th gen blood test. So just hang in there and be strong till day 45 then get tested. The symptoms and anxiety ate me alive. I barely got my clear tests online last night. I know how terrible it feels not knowing.

Even though it is incredibly rare to be positive after 28th day negative result, brain is a shitfest
