Dry mouth and anxiety? Please Help!!

[milan109]

Hello, around 2 months ago, I had protected sex, and ever since then, I started panicking that I could have HIV   and I started having dry mouth and and fatigue, which lasted around 2-3 weeks. But 7 weeks after exposure, my mouth has started becoming dry with no other symptoms. Can anxiety cause dry mouth to be continuous for weeks? I got a full std screening and I am still waiting for the results. Please help

Dry mouth and feeling tired are very common symptoms for anxiety.I also had it when I was scared and anxious about hiv.I had it for so long that in the end my mouth was burning and no matter how much water I was drinking the sentation was there.If you had protected sex then you have nothing to worry.This is anixety that is borthering you I think.Try to relax and my andvice is that the internet will not help,it will only make things worse.Just try to forget about this because you are not in danger since you had protected sex.

Hey, thanks for answering my question, my penis feels like its burning now as well, 7 weeks after exposure, is this a sign of an std?
