I'm a 25 year old guy. Three years ago I went to Mexico (Mazatlan, Sinaloa). I went to a strip club with my friend. I had a lap dance that lasted for about 3 minutes. I had my clothes fully on and the girl only had a g-string on. Nothing special really happened. She had her **** on my face
for like 5seconds and i touched her **** and body for the whole dance. Im not sure but i may have touched her vagina for just a few seconds( like 3seconds maybe).
Ever since after that I have been sure that i got Hiv
because im so afraid of STDs. Thats why Im posting this. It has ruined the last 3years of my life. I even had to drop out of college because of this.
I've had plenty of symptoms ever since. Extreme fatigue has been the biggest symptom and has lasted constantly for 3years. Could it be from this extreme stress? Also now for the last few months i've had dry mouth and yellowish tongue.
This whole thing might sound stupid but im completely honest.
I'd like to get answers to these questions!:
1. Is it possible that I could have got HIV or another STD from this exposure?
2. I've read that in some states in Mexico they check the strippers for STDs and require licenses for the girls. Is this true? That would mean that i was safe...? The city was Mazatlan in the state of Sinaloa.
You Can't have symptoms for 3 years. That is just not possible. Your exposure is not HIV concern. Get tested for peace of mind...a lot better then 3 years of misery...life is too short to worry about what if's...Simple logic...100 years of full life....About half our life we spend time sleeping and as a baby (So we are not aware of what's going on around us) . So remains the other half of which 3/4 we spend time passionately hateing others. Left 1/4 were we try to be happy. So on a average we have 4000 hours of happy memories if we live for 100 years. Make everyday count so you could remember.
Sorry. I only mentioned it since the doctors on the Doc's forum mention it for peace of mind and say they would assure it will come out negative. I am sure it is more serious then a simple advice.
Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I have reasearched this alot and everything seems to say that im fine. It's just hard. I have a really bad OCD and , i guess, hyppchondria also.
Thanks everybody. I still have to say.
I'd really like to get an answer from one of the professional doctors on this site. That would encourage me enough to take that test.
Follow Teak's advice. He is a educator on this topic. Prosper well. Stay Mellow :-). If you need to ask a doctor you will need to pay $22 on the Ask a Expert Forum on HIV or consult your GP
