Why even after being told that I'm at no risk to HIV or my exposure is very low can I still not think about anything else? 3 months is an excruciating rind to wait even tho I'm told I don't need testing in the first place. Am I losing the plot or is this normal?

You never had an exposure and didn't need testing.

I just wanted to update everyone that may potentially read this thread. I received my test results back today - both my urine and blood tests came back clear. My HIV RNA pcr test also came back clear at a completely normal level. I know I'm not completely clear as yet but I have a weight lifted off my shoulders and feel much better. My advice is to get tested and learn from your mistakes. Stay safe everyone and god bless.

You have to accept the facts and they are that you never had exposure to hiv and that testing in your situation would be pointless and a big waste of time and effort.Hiv facts speak louder than anxiety.
