3 days of drymouth and now a mouthsore

The doctor claimed I'm worrying about nothing, and even suggested I get counseling. But I'm telling you I'm not out of my mind. I wore a condom so I have no idea how I could get it, but I'm nervous. Is it going to be like this every day? Iv'e always had like a sore in my mouth, usuall when I bite the side of my jaw or brush too hard. But my mouth has never been this dry, I'm beginning to think this person did something to the condom or something. I don't know, I'm out of my mind and I'm bringing those around me down.

big dummy, quit focussing on HIV, or HSV and look at other alternative that can cause this dry mouth.

In other words research out anxiety and mouth disorders, and you will find a strong connection. Even with dry eyes, itchy nose, increase in yeast levels.

Truth is, anxiety is really bad for the body.  Really big dummy the stress is harming you big time, worst yet, you may not have anything to stress over, and the odds are you do not.

Be cool man, you wore a jimmy, I will not steer you wron.

I let her put it on, I'm just a mess. I read some of those post with the people who actually have hiv, and they are so much stronger than I'll ever be. I was also nauseated this morning.

Big Dummy,

You are reading my posts but you aint READING my posts.  Soak it in...  anxiety is also associated with nausea.  I have been there, I was so full of anxiety I came down with gengivitis, the flesh in my mouth litterally started to die of or rot for a lack of better terms.

I was hospitalized twice.... ofcourse the did not find anything...  but i did find that the sleeping pills that the gave me helped to curb the nausea and the horrible feelings I had...  well that is because the surpressed my brain...

I know know one wants to hear it, but prozak may be a good alternative for you. Again, quit stressing....   I really think you are OK. If you read a lot, you will find that HSV2 theoretically could be contracted even with a condom on, due to the unprotected area of the penins. SKin on skin contact can occur. I have not seen anyting about HIV being contracted or transmitted if the condom is used correctly.  

I think you said she put the condom on you. To me, that is a good thing. Imagine, she is more prone to get HIV than you are. This may seem silly, but the easiest condom placement I have ever experienced was done by a girl. She had it in one hand, then the next thing I knew, it was on. Poof, and comfortable, no struggle.... pert near magical.

Any how, slow down the stress.

take comfort in the fact you wore a jimmy

it was less than two weeks, but it was negative, which most likely means nothing.
