Whenever I have a big issue that I'm very worried about, it always helps me mentally to come up with a plan to solve the problem, then to start acting on that plan. In other words, action takes away worry. Perhaps you should detail what you're going to do about this, e.g. get tested, look into some counseling, have a heart-to-heart with your girlfriend, etc., then start doing it right away.
Take comfort in the fact that you've acted honorably given the present situation, but use this experience as a way to mature so that you don't put yourself in such a bad position again.
