Hiv anxiety
im a guy and had oral sex with a girl on June 11 2014 and then 3 days later I got sick with appendicitis symptoms. I got scared cause what if I got something or what if it was my appendix so I went to the hosptial and they asked me if I was sexually active I said no cuz I'm still a virgin. I was diagnosed with adenitis it was something I ate or drinked that cause me to be ill. They gave me pain killers and that caused me to be constipated and my pelvic muscles were sore so I thought I cought an std like gonoherrea or clamydia went and got tested negative they told me it was cause I was constipated. Then I wondered why would I get sick looked up what causes swollen lymph nodes and hiv was there. Big mistake. Started getting depressed I got hiv and the girl was a virgin and clean too so there was no way I got it but my mind started wondering and I got tension headaches that wouldn't go away. Then I remembered that I had a cousin that touched me innapropaly and thought I comtracted hiv from that when I was 6. I couldn't sleep all night and got a massive headache so I went to an urgent care and told the doctor my story and he said I would be dead if I had hiv for 12 years without medication and what I told him he said there's no way I have HIV. I got tested cuz I thought it would put my mind at ease. The results were negative he told me to get anxiety medication. Then I had a dream were they reused a needle. Went to a legacy clinic on August 28 2014 for anxiety medication for my tension headaches. My doctor(her) re tested me for hiv cuz she said I was anxious and worried I got infected on my first test so she wanted to put my mind at ease and that I would stop worrying and she also tested for my thyroid cuz that could cause headaches. Negative again and got buspar anxiety medication. Then I had a dream that I was dying and felt ill with weight loss. The doctors were laughing at me and said I was HIV positive that I was infected from the hiv test. Woke up started worrying what if they did that?! Went on YouTube for more info about hiv, bad mistake. Saw a bunch of conspiracy videos about hiv which made my anxiety worse. Then I got naseua, dry mouth, diarrhea, pin and needle pain on my hands. It made me more convinced they infected me. Everything went away except for the tingly in the hands pin and needle pain. I still worry what if they did. My doctor tells me it's anxiety and I should see a therapist. She says I'm healthy and worrying myself for nothing. That I'm young and should enjoy my life. She promises me that there's no way I got hiv or I contracted it from getting tested. But I can't accept that I have anxiety I'm convinced that I have hiv or they infected me. The pin and needle pain in my hands is annoying and it hurts. My doctor says its anxiety cuz Im healthy. I'm 18.
Appendicitis symptoms do not suggest HIV, and 3 days is much too soon for HIV to cause symptoms. What you dreamed is irrelevant; please don't post such nonsense again.
Your post is much too long to read everything. If you haven't been tested for HIV, do that. You can expect a negative result.
