i was in the dominican republic not last xmas but the xmas before (xmas 2010) and i had sex with a prostitute
we had protected sex but she gave me oral sex without a condom on, i dont recall any cuts or anything
i got really stressed about it but i know its nearly impossible to catch HIV through oral sex, and i never bothered to get it checked.
its been nagging at me at the back of my mind, whenever i feel i am coming down with something, and about a year ago, i started to notice my hair to thin... Its actually been shedding quite agressively since last xmas, all over the top of the scalp. My internet research pointed to a possible Telogen Effluvium (TE). It could be male pattern baldness but i doubt it because i would be the first male in my entire family to go bald.
Would anyone agree that i am not infected and not going bald, but rather extremely stressed out about the possibility of being infected, which is causing my hair to shed quite suddenly? I am only 25, and i dont have bald spots, just thin areas of hair that i end up hiding under the rest of my hair. Looks to be growing back, but falls easily. Small bulbs at the end of each strand.
I am finally getting tested this week, after almost 2 years of wondering.
besides, if i had HIV, i would know by now right? dont worry, either way ill get tested.
