AIDS PARANOIA, and a whole bunch of different matters

This has been my last anxiety mind devouring episode. I had an oral sex encounter with a girl I've know for 10 years who happens to be very low risk. Then I tested negative after 6 weeks, which according to the latest research nad medhelp experts is 99% reliable, on top of everything oral sex poses an extremely low risk. However this event triggered a anxiety crisis that has gone for a few weeks now, and I just can't stop it.
I've been going through a psychoanalitic process for 4 1/2 years and I've made very good progress on reducing my obssesive compulsive behaviour, and I'm considering the possibility of seeing a psychiatrist. Do you have any practical advice on how to reduce this compulsive negative thinking that's taken the best of me for so many years? I really must start moving ahead from this disorder cos I can't take it anymore. It`s really killing my nervous system!!!

Thanks

Zoloft and another HIV test.

Zoloft for OCD and maybe another HIV test to completely rule it out. You know you don't have it!

Oral sex is zero risk for HIV. There is no need for another test. I agree that it might be a good idea to see a psychiatrist in addition to your therapist - at least until this anxiety crisis is under control.

I say another HIV test to show you AGAIN that you don't have it and DEFINITELY a good psychiatrist who can do both talk therapy and possible medication to help you...It gets so tiring....doesn't it?????

Seek out the help of a mental help proffessional.  Hiv isnt spread by oral sex. You didn't need to test to begin with unless u've had unprotected vaginal or anal sex

And by the way i answered yes to all those questions at the end lol

Take care!

if you take another HIV test, ALL YOUR DOING IS TELLING YOUR BODY/MIND THAT THERE IS REASON FOR DANGER. DO NOT TAKE ANOTHER HIV TEST. this WILL harm you in the long run! also I see you posted in HIV and here, have you tried OCD fourm, as is this not your primary dx???

I was just like you!  It took me 3 tests to finally admit I didn't have HIV.   But just like you
99.9% wasn't good enough.  I only drove myself crazy two more times.  But It did finally give me peace of mind.  Settle down! Start Exercising to boost your mood. You are Fine.

Also, I suggest seeing a Cognitive Therapist first before a psychiatrist.
