Hello
I understand you. It might be very distressing to have such thoughts. You can have other symptoms also in addition to feeling sleepless. I assume you would have even tested yourself for HIV and tests would have come completely normal. Even after negative reports, if you're having these concerns repeatedly you should better consult a psychiatrist for evaluation of any anxiety disorders, taking medications only for sleep will not help.
Health Tips
if there are any high risk behaviours related to HIV, you need to give up those first and take better care of yourself by taking a balanced diet, sleeping properly, and relaxing.

You might want to see a psychiatrist to have an assessment of the underlying cause of your symptoms and accordingly have a proper management plan made for you.
Meanwhile, healthy diet, adequate hydration, regular physical excercise as well as mindfulness and relaxation based excercises will also help reduce some of the stress
