Anxiey?

[RegretfulAndy]

Hey guys this is my thread: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Confused-about-HIV-/show/1705684
I think I have been suffering from anxiety 3 months ago I had my first sexual exposure which involved in receivng oral and genital rubbing ever since that day I haven't been the same mentaly and physically desipte all the comments on this forum dr, and moderators saying I had a no risk situation. But for some reason I can't accept it I keep thnking i got HIV from her and I can never stop thinking about it, it's been taking oflver my life I spend atlesdt 4+ hours a day on the HIV forums. Everday I wake up my head is hurting along with my jaw, and nasal congestion and I'm always fatigued and in a sad mood don't feel like do anything because all that comes to my mind is HIV. I took a 11.3week HIV test 8 days ago and they still haver called me I'm hoping it's negative, I think I am suffering from anxiety maybe that's why I'm having these symptoms, I just wantto be like my normal self hopefully my mind can accept a 11.3 week test as proof I didn't get HIV. What do u guys think HIV or anxiety?

As you were already told, you did not have a risk for HIV.  When you get your results back, believe them.  If you STILL cannot accept that you do not have HIV even after getting your test results, then it is time to get some help.

Also, the very WORST thing you could do is continue to search the web and spend time on HIV forums.  That is only going to fuel your anxiety like gas to a fire.

i definetly think its anxiety . anxiety can make you think irrational thoughts & im not saying you wont stop feeling like that after you get your results but after my first panick attack i keep thinking somethings wrong with my heart i cant stop thinking about even though i have been to the er & have had plenty of ekgs keep telling yourself that your okayy because you are

Yes, I think you have HIV anxiety. You have been tested. If you did have HIV I do believe you would have heard by now.Give them a call today and ask if they have overlooked your results and if they are in.  You have researched this and know that there is almost 0% that you have it. Did you use a condom? In the future, use one every single time with every single sex act. And yes, oral is sex. I do think the symptoms you're having are all from anxiety.
