hi everybody, just want to share my experience,i am a sexually active bloke, i recently had unprotected sex and i caught CHLAMYDIA , after a week i felt itchiness discomfort and burning sensation while urinating, took 1g azithromycin and in just 3 days my discomforts gone, i was calm and relaxed after that and then i read an article about the symptoms of HIV, for two days it was stuck on my mind, and some "hiv symptoms" appeared , got sore throat for 3 day, then followed by a on and off temperature, aching joints, no rashes and swollen lymph though but i kept checking myself in the mirror, i was so paranoid so i went to a GUM clinic and done a FULL STD check, results came out today after 10 days of waiting ,, ALL CAME NEGATIVE,

i was on my GP 3 days ago and he told me that i am suffering from an ANXIETY attack, i am really amazed how ANXIETY can affect our body,

lesson learned, i will never ever do it again lol

and the best thing to know if your infected , GO TO A GUM clinic or ANY STD TESTING CENTER and have a test
dont rely on SYMPTOMS alone , it will drive you mad , insane , paranoid etc.

you are welcome, searching through internet about all those symptoms will only make you feel more sick or ill, i suffered for two weeks having that fear having been infected because on all that i read, honestly i could not even have a good sleep, i also read an article here about ANXIETY HIV and it fits what i am feeling, that was a good article as well

but still that HIV thingy was still scary for me, i was even thinking to book for an appointment to a psychologist and counselling, tell you mate i was close to the point that i am looooooosing  my plot ,
