You did not have a risk. Everything you are going through is not HIV related. You either have someother medical issue or your mind is getting the best of you.

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV. See your doctor if your symptoms concern you.

i need your advise .why people get symtoms like bad breathing and rest if they dont have real risk. can bad breathing and  tiredness be a part of anxioty?

by Teak, Jul 17, 2009 11:31PM
Yes it can be caused by stress an anxiety as with a number of other issues. See your doctor if you have a concern.

you have been advised that you were never at risk from what you have described.  this is not a psychological counseling service and this forum has nothing more to offer you.

move on.
