This is a common problem seen in people who have had unprotected sex and panic after that. Despite the test results the mind in a state of fear keep repeating the same thoughts and the fear of getting infected and infecting the partner is high. Though you know it's untrue, because of the repetitive thoughts the fear increases and changes your behaviour.
