Anxiety over HIV

[cjayee]

I have an anxiety about HIV. In the midde of May, I went on a trip to Tijuana with a friend of mine. I drank a little and went to this strip club in Tijuana. I paid for a lap dance from this stripper. The stripper and I went to a booth and she started stripping. She was completely naked and didn't see anything unusual about her skin, face, and etc. Please forgive me if I am being to descriptive but I want to be sure about the details I am about to describe. She was dancing for a while and then decided to unzip my pants and take my penis out and jerk me a little with her hands until my penis got hard. She then turned around and started rubbing her behind on my penis a little in between her butt cheeks but the tip of my penis never touched inside her genetalia and there was never penetration, she just teased me and just rubbed her behind on my erect penis with no penetration. I then decided to cover my penis with my hand. She then asked me, "If you used a condom would that make you feel better?" And I said, "Yes." She opened a condom packet and put a condom on my penis and began to do what she was doing again, tease me by rubbing her behind on my penis and this time she grabbed my penis and I penetrated her vagina with a condom. I was sitting down and she was sitting on me going back and forth, she then turned around and rubbed her chest in my face and I decided to lick on her breasts and suck on her nipples and hold her at the waist. I couldn't get off and so she decided to take the condom off and jerk me off with her hands while she was sucking on my nipples really hard. I then came on her hands and she grabbed a towel and wiped me down. After about a a week and a half I got a sore throat and noticed it was painful enough to be a sore neck lymph node. I haven't gotten a sore throat in years so I decided to go get checked up. I went to see a doctor and she said that it was a single enlarged lymph node on my right side of the neck below the ear. I told her about my night in Tijuana 2 weeks ago and she recommended I get an HIV test today even though she stated my risk was very low based on the details I am describing now. I came up negative and she then told me to come back in 3 months for another HIV test which is going to be in about mid August. My sore throat or my single enlarged lymph node went away after I had it for a little over a week. Ever since then I have had an extreme anxiety over possibly having HIV! I have had no other symptoms other than that enlarged lymph node for a little over a week, but I have been worried sick and had slight pain in my joints, been depressed, had slight headaches, and tingling feelings over my body. I work valet and have to constantly run to get cars to clients and stuff and I dont observe a decrease my in physical abilities. I have been constantly doing reasearch on the internet about HIV but I have become obsessed with being sure about it. I just dont know if the symptoms I describe are related to HIV symptoms or Anxiety Symptoms but my question is; could I have possibly contracted HIV by the mechanisms I describe (sucking on her nipples, her sucking on my nipples hard, bare handjob from her, rubbing her behind on my penis with no penetration, and penetration with a condom), could I be showing early symptoms of HIV, and what was my risk?

Anxiety, because you never had a risk.

I didn't mean that. Having stress of being with sex workers may cause such things..

[Tall Guy2]

Stress has caused such things I guess. There is an artical about that, saying; there is hormon called "Cytokin" that maintains the health of your immune system which produce T cells.
When you get stressed "Cytokin" fails to produce T cells therefore your immune system will lower. Same as AIDS does to Human.
You begin having such problems like fewer, heat and so on. I-You better go on some research If you could.

He never had a risk to begin with. There are no compairsons to stress and AIDS.

I am asking questions all because of the sore lymph node I had for a week and the other symptoms that followed like the slight headaches, tingling over my body, and the slight painful joints. My other question is my thoughts about sore lymph nodes because that was what initially got me worried. On many internet sites about HIV, it states that sore lymph nodes is a symptom of HIV. Does that mean like, just one sore lymph node, or multiple sore lymph nodes, or can it be either/or?

[Teak]

You don't have sore lymph nodes due to HIV infection. If you have sore lymph nodes see your doctor.

Hey... thanks for more insight on this matter. I guess I just have a high anxiety over it. I really appreciate your guys' insights about HIV, even though I am obsessed on the subject of HIV, having a live chat with you guys relived me of my worries a good deal. The only thing that will relieve me completely is waiting to hear that I came up negative for HIV in August. Thank you all for your input.

I am curious about what is the risk of getting HIV from an AIDS infected person if you got bit?
