HIV questions

About 2 weeks ago i engaged in vaginal and anal sex with this girl i met at a party. She said she was clean, so my question is if  she is indeed clean can i get hiv from having anal sex with her not having it(I also used lube). Ive had super bad anxiety towards it which has lead me to go all over the internet to find whats wrong. there are no sores or anything out of the ordinary other than my penis just being dry. I have also resorted to alchol because of how paranoid i am of this and havent ate much in the past 3 days. Is that what is causing me to feel a sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, headache, feeling hot, tingly in the face, throwing up, upset stomach and having the cold shakes. would really appreciate your guys thoughts!

I agree with anxiety860. NEVER EVER look on the internet for this information - it will drive you crazy with all the misinformation given out.

Look at the situation:

Did you use a condom? If so, no risk at all. Those puppies are tough, very tough.

If no condom was used:

I would say the risk would be low/minimum because unless you had open wounds/cuts on your penis, vaginal fluid does not travel up the urethra to cause a possible risk of infection.

If you seriously feel that uncomfortable, GET OFF THE "INFORMATIONAL" websites and go to a health clinic and get tested.

Stay off the Internet when it comes to this kind of stuff. You can find anything on there and it will fuel your anxiety. No you cannot get HIV if she didnt have it. If you used a condom you never had a risk to begin with.
