Well, you obviously cannot have sexually acquired amebiasis. However, most amebiasis isn't transmitted sexually anyway, but by contaminated food or water. But this probably never happens in the UK. If you remain anxious about it despite obvious zero risk, you may need to speak with a health professional -- especially if you're often anxious about infections in general (germophobia).
