Stomach Problems

Hello, Everysince I found out about my risk, I have had an upset stomach by just the thought of it. I have had diarreah one day and sometimes my spools are looser than usual. My stomach feels a little warm, Could this be something  I have caused because of stress. I have taken a negative oraquick test a 8 days. I am at 22 days right now and still no other symptoms infact I have trouble sleeping. I am wondering could this be signs of stress, I took a HIV-1 RNA PCR Quantitive test on the 17th day and decided to wait for results until the 25th day when family is here.  I plan to retake at three months. The doctor has given me anxiety medicine but I am scared to take it because I don't like controlled substances, so I am letting it ride. Although it is hard when I have an upset stomach all the time. I don't want to vomit or anything like that.

I am at 22 days they started at 8 days the moment I started worrying, My stomach just gets warm, sensitive to sugar and milk late at night, sensitive meaning diarreah for a day. I haven't thrown up yet. I don't eat as much as I use too but I do eat. When I am calm it goes away. I went to see my doctor already but he just brushed it away and said it was stress and anxiety. He said my odds look great! Is stomach problems that you just can't get out of bed?

Oh I understand what you were saying, that I should start the anxiety cause I will get use to taking them. I thought you said I had HIV and I will get use to the medicine. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

No that was never said. You cannot diagnose HIV by symptoms.

You contract HIV from not using a condom and you'll get use to taking controlled substances.
