Anxiety over Fear of Dying

[Sparty1]

About 3 weeks ago I performed oral sex with a sex worker (male to female).  I know that the chances of getting HIV are very slim and that my doctor has never heard of anyone getting HIV this way.  I still have the fear of dying and I think about the consequences of having HIV would be on myself and family.  I'm always thinking about it and I have extreme anxiety.  My neck is stiff and sore.  I feel at times sore all over my body and my heel is bothering me the most.

Does anybody know if these are common physical symptoms for anxiety?  How can I rest my mind over this?

sounds like health anxiety... lot of us hear suffer from this, our minds create symptoms of diease..... that what the docs keep saying its all in our minds, truly they say you cant catch HIV from that but I do experience and share your fears, and weird symptoms.. take care
