Almost six weeks ago I had sex with a sex worker, the folks down at the HIV prevention forum told me my risk was near zero so I've taken it to heart and I'm doing my best to return to normal. During the first 4 weeks I would experience heavy fatigue, lack of appetite, depression to the point of not making contact with family members or leaving my house.
My doctor gave me Xanax but stopped taking it because it made me feel worse but these symptoms have been starting to disappear. I've been more active, I began working with my father again, and more. I do have two concerns which I'm not sure if it's related to Anxiety or not but I keep feeling tightness in my jaw, neck(by the Adam's Apple), and groin to the point where all I do is feel the bone being compressed by my pants or the muscle feeling sore(Perhaps I think I have a swollen lymph node which is another HIV symptom) and my other concern is, I just woke up with my pillow all wet thinking it was night sweats. That made me jump back on the net looking to see if it's HIV related which kinda messed me up again. I've tested negative 3, 4, and 5 weeks and going for a 6. I want to believe I'm home free and I know I am but my body refuses to accept it. Are these related to Anxiety? Am I losing my mind? It's hard waiting to get tested; just want my life back.
