HIV risk or irrational thinking?

[Sleepy946]

Last night I drove overnight because I was going to visit a friend and we were going to play golf in the morning. Well the course is an hour away from his house but in my direction so I just was going to meet him there and then after we could go to his house. Well our tee off time was 10:30. Well I got there at 6:30am. Well I just parked at a sports complex nearby and was going to get a few hours of sleep before we played. Well apparently I left my car doors unlocked. Nothing was stolen but I can't stop thinking someone injected HIV blood into my body while I was sleeping in my car. I don't know whether to go the doctor or what. Will someone please help me. Is that rational thinking or am I being paranoid? I have had HIV scares in the past and I had to quit my job because anxiety got so bad and I didnt believe the test and it was a nightmare. I told myself I would never put myself at risk for stds again.

Thanks so much. This is not a joke I'm sincerely scared.

This is an irrational phobia. It's not an HIV issue it's a mental health issue. Since you have indicated that you've quit your job in the past over HIV anxiety then you're overdue in finding a therapist with whom to discuss this issue.

This is an HIV Prevention forum and you have been assessed as not having an exposure. Your next steps need to be to seek out a therapist. There is nothing more that can be done by this forum to help you.
