HIV - ANXIETY PAIN

HI all.

I had a low risk exposure to HIV about 6 months ago, I have tested negative out to 6 months over 5 times, so i know im negative.

problem is i still have the fear I may have it and my perceived joint pain still lingers, can Anxirty actually cause mimicing issues?

any feedback would be great

i was at ur situation for the past 11 mnths..Anxious about contracting HIV after one possible exposure...
tested up to 37 wks (9 mnths)...5 times (4 times out of 12/13 wk as suggested)...all negatives...
still struggling to deal with those weird symptoms...
other blood tests came back normal, STD tests were also normal...
i'm lost for sure....
