Just a question

The last two weeks I have been suffering from anxiety due to what I call a HIV scare,  rashes that come and go tingling in hands.  I watched wired little bumps rise and go away, mouth sores popping up and bleeding then disappear next day.   But I have one that will not it is like a mild sore throat. Not even mild really pretty light a bad dry mouth that comes and goes and it feels like there is a drip in my throat.  Can anxiety cause this because I'm pretty calm right now but my throat is driving me nuts




Anyone one ever experienced this throat problem due to anxiety. The throat soreness was worst this morning

Not testing is the first foot forward to moving on buds. It means deep down its pointless and you dont need to. The rest will sort its self out in time im sure.

I didn't test again I'm starting to feel confident that im safe. But who knows what game my mind will play next lol. Any way it's been 7 weeks so I figure any symptoms I can even come up with have gone on to long or it is too late for symptoms to appear for HIV.  Thank you Apollo and rainlover for helping me with anxiety. I hope it's over but somehow I doubt it

Go see a doctor about it.  I can guarantee you it isn't HIV related based on your incident.
