It could be HIV phobia.

Negative results after 3 months are final. Why are you having unprotected sex?

Anxiety can come in all forms.  We often see many people here in the forum that have HIV fears.  Health anxiety can be very difficult to deal with in my opinion.  I would have to agree with silverberg here because you can't get HIV from someone that doesn't have it...if you could you would be the first.  Second, it is not very easy to contract in the first place, but if you sleep around ensure you are protecting yourself.  Have you had anxiety in the past?

first off you had unprotected sex with 2 girls , one your GF? why worry, was you both faithful? as for the second girl, she can show you any paper or blood results, that means nother, unless you are with her 24/7 I would not, use someones word or and blood work they give you. PERIOD! you need to educate yourself on HIV and then your anxiety may pass. you made a mistake by having unprotected sex, learn from it. have a good day.
