Appearing at the Old Bailey, Joshua Michals, 26, was found to have fatally stabbed Zhe Wang, 31, at her flat in Manor Park, Lewisham, south-east London, on 20 March last year.
The two were both students at Goldsmiths University, where Michals was pursuing a master's degree and Ms Wang studied creative writing, and had begun a casual relationship in 2023.
Michals told jurors that Ms Wang was "germophobic" and became "stressed" after she incorrectly thought she had contracted an STD after they had sex.
Prosecutor Henrietta Paget KC added that the 26-year-old, originally from Chicago, Illinois, had "flown into a rage" and killed Ms Wang after meeting her at her flat.
A post-mortem examination found Ms Wang died from stab wounds to the head and compression to the neck.
During the trial, jurors heard that Ms Wang found a "red dot" on her skin, prompting her to demand Michals get an STD test and vow to find him on campus and "drag" him to see a GP.
