anxiety symptoms if I am negative?
I know i shouldn't even be looking at this site again after getting my question answered by Dr.HHH and just coming back still searching for advice is really just being a a-hole.
I am just still concerned and if anyone who was in the same boat as I can relate to my situation.
I tested 13 weeks and couple days negative with two tests one being a rapid test and one being a blood drawn test after an unprotected vaginal sex exposure with a girl from Turkey.
Now of course looking from site to site everyone states that I am definitely conclusive.
Has anyone with the same results as I ever needed to test out to 6months?
Can Stomach rumbling and feeling like your hungry all the time and also excessive gas be caused by anxiety?
I know its unusual because I have always been a big eater but this stomach rumbling and excessive gas been going on since 2 months post exposure which was occupied with loose stools which I don't have no more but lasted 2 weeks.
Every morning i use a tongue scraper to scrape off this white coating that just looks like an everyday thing I must do for hygiene but I don't recall doing this at all before I read about HIV and thrush but looking at pictures, It doesn't look like thrush but my tongue on the back looks white and hairy then I scrape and brush and it comes off without blood or ulcers.
I also have a tingling sensation on my left hand on my finger tips all the time! I am guessing because I am always typing on my laptop that it could cause numbness tingling.
and I am also guessing because i am constantly examining my neck with my fingers,
I feel my occipital node on my left side near my hairline little poking out, also the lymph nodes on the side of my neck feel noticeable has anyone experienced the symptoms relating to anxiety of 13 weeks of searching and searching or should I retest at 6 months =/
What I really hope it is all related to anxiety since I never experienced any of these symptoms since I been searching for HIV symptoms.
thanks for all comments and advice! which I know a lot of knowledgeable of people on here can help me with this I am dealing with.

Hey, I appreciate your response, as you can imagine my anxiety and I feel at this point it is very unhealthy of me to keep going on with my life like this but it is so scary also because I feel "symptoms" and i came to a new years resolution to really stop my drinking as I read on your profile on the urge of being sober. I feel my reason is that I cant live life going out partying and putting my self in bad positions as what I did over 15 weeks ago, that lead me to make my self every minute of the day looking up symptoms and actually feeling them after reading about them and cant get the motive to take my 13 weeks results as a blessing and move on with my life. But i know its unhealthy cause I spend more time
going to google, thebody, medhelp and always searching "hiv negative 90 days, hiv negative 13 weeks, unprotected vaginal" and I keep reading and reading it I guess its just fueling my anxiety without making me stop and get off the computer and move on with my life that I am so grateful of having a second change with those results.
I think I will take your advice and check out the anxiety forum.
But as the symptoms, I have no insurance because I been layed off from work over 6 months and trying to start my own business and I am sure having no money for going out and being with friends can also make me stressed and depressed!
Happy New Year and thanks.

Testing out 6 months is reserved for only a very few individulas...who are chronic IV drug users, undergoing chemyo and on anti-organ rejection drugs. Even for those people is it unusual to have to go out 6 months.
Anxiety can cause so many "symptoms" it is unreal.
My advice is to check out the anxiety community or a therapist to help you out. You are 100% negative testing at 13 weeks and do not need to retest.
