my thoughts are eating me up, HELP PLEASE, I beg

[demome]

Hello,
For the past 3 months i have been worried and anxious that i might have caught HIV from a condom(sealed, unopend) that i found, I used it 12 hours later.

I was tested negative 3 times, and still cant seem to shake of my worries and fears. Maybe OCD. And i also, think some how the condom is infected with hepititis and it could have coinfect and thus delayed serconversion of  my HIV and it scares me.

Although i know such a sceanaroe seems not liekly

I don't know how long the various hep viruses remain viable. I'm sure it is longer than the HIV virus, which cannot survive outside it's host.

And your HIV test would NOT be affected, even if you did have a hep virus.

Like I said, if you are so worried, go get tested. And educated.

Please.........no more "what if's."
It's time to move on now.
Peace

Yes u are very helpful but a possible HEP c or b  contamination more likely to survive had it been infected

Didn't you post about this just a few weeks ago?
Since I believe that nothing I say is going to ease your mind, go get tested. If it's been three months since you used this condom, then you will get a conclusive result. You can also get checked for Hep.
In the future, don't use found condoms. Save yourself all this angst.
You might also want to look into some therapy for your HIV/health anxiety.
Getting educated about HIV would go a long way in helping you deal with your fears.
Peace
