hello i am 24 years old male. about a month ago i had unprotected sex with a women. i have been going through hell since then. at first had sores on my penis which i thought was herpes but had no other symtoms. i went to doctor he said it dident seem like that, and gave me a full std/hiv test, and ran some other tests. after 8 days i had no response and for the past few days i can not sleep. i fall asleep for 30 min usually then wake up sweating and my heart is beating very fast. this has happened the last 4 nights. then i eithr get back to sleep for hour or so or dont go to bed at all. my body is so tired, and i am wondering if this could be caused from stress anixety of waiting on test results? or does it sound like something more serious. this only happens at night and besides being tired from no sleep i have no symtoms in the day time. i am so scaried please help me. I am going to call doctor on monday again to try to get results. i try not to think bout it at night but i think subconsciously i am.....

First - How long did your dr say it would take to get the results of the tests? Most depts are very overworked and for things like this it may be necessary to grow a culture before they can make a diagnoses. Which takes time! So, slow down! An awful lot of STD's can be cured with a course of pills. With sores on your penis that have gone away it sounds like syphillis to me. Again treatable... With only one month since you had unprotected sex you will certainly come under 'early diagnoses' and to my mind, growing the thing on a petrie dish will take longer. Whatever it is it is unlikely to kill you. Perhaps the anxiety you are suffering with is usually under wraps but comes out when stressing. Meditation, exercise and healthy living help avoid stress and help make it more dealable when bad times come! But for future reference, 'put it in, put it on'. Sleep well...

I dont agree with sex before marriage, thats your decesion to decide whats right and wrong and about saveing yourself before marriage, but I can tell you I know exactly whats happening to you, it is most likely anxiety or panic response, dont say attack, because your not being attacked, the most important thing to know is as soon as possible is your not in danger, the body will not hurt its self, check out the website the Linden Method, before you get the results stay calm at times it may seem like your body dosen't want to just keep repeating in your mind its just anxiety or panic reactions, thats all it is you have to understand that now, you dont need those test results to calm your self you can do it now, your going to think your haveing a heart attack your going to want to go to the doctor oh doctor please help me he well tell you your haveing a panic attack and give you drugs, but you really should not need them if you realize the truth now, your body is releasing adrenaline, adrenaline wont harm you it will just make on the alert heart pounding sweating mind raceing looking for danger, what ever you do just know one thing your heart will even if it takes hours even all day, it will not hurt you it will eventually calm down when you relize there is no true danger just panic nervous system reactions adrenaline, adrenaling dose all kinds of things to the body, you dont need to be rushed to hospital you just need some one to asure you and help calm you down that what your feeling is just different degrees of anxiety and panic reactions, call some one go to the linden method or panic away panic away site as computer animation of what a panic attack looks like when it happens, what ever your going through just keep this in mind your body is ok its just realeasing extra adrenaline, you may seem wooried but remember what ever happens you cant be harmed in any way, its not possible for panic reactions to do this, even if your heart keeps beating, even at high rate like if you got in fight in high school or something just keep staying calm keep saying im in control this is just a panic response thats all it is.
