Sexually Transmitted Diseases - Female Support Group

I have a quick question. I have been very worried lately I think I am stressing myself out way too much. I have had all kinds of different things wrong with my body lately and nothing has been found but High Blood Pressure, and just overall being overweight and also anxiety. Also just having a baby but sometimes I think what if I do have hiv.
My ex and I were sleeping together for about a year with protection and then we got careless and back in April of 07 we didn’t use condoms that’s when it started. Then back in July 07 I went and had a full check up of all the STD’s and everything came back normal including the hiv test. Then I got pregnant in September of 08 and then I had to be tested again and it was still negative. After I had my last test my ex and I had sex for the last time while I was still pregnant and we didn’t use protection. So I was scared that maybe it could happen after that but then I think well they would have found it by now especially while I was in delivery they were taking all kinds of test. I am so scared of this disease I had an uncle to die from it. From this point on I will never ever stop using protection. The only thing about my ex is that I never had to ask him to put a condom on he would just do it each and every time until we actually wanted a child and we stopped using them. He did cheat on me I know for a fact but when we first dated he always told me that he always uses protection with anyone he is with and when we first had sex he was quick to pull out a condom.
I look on the internet and the symptoms are so similar to other things it’s hard to judge by symptoms. Like I have never had dry skin and now I do and sometimes it flakes and I saw that was a symptom and it scared the shit out of me but that could also be because I just had a baby too but I don’t know. Should I get tested again? It’s scary
