Still going nuts

Two weeks ago I posted a question about condom protected male to female vaginal sex. Also with that about shaving and if her secretions could get into Skin compromised by shaving. I was told no risk.

I was ok with this until about the two week mark, today. I have minor pain in what feels like right behind my scrotum and just before my anus. I looked up that spot on the wed and it brought me to a area that has to do with lymph nodes and I freaked.

Well I am now convinced I will be testing HIV + despite wearing a condom. I am so stressed out and losing my mind. I am not feeling sick yet but I know it will hit soon. If anyone had any other info please share with me.

Nursegirl I did want to add, the journal you posted about HIV was a very very good read. Unfortunately for me and many others with high stress and anxiety. It is only a temporary fix until something else pops in our heads. Thank you to all who posted.

I do freely admit I need help on stress and anxiety. That was what I was planning on working on. Then this recently started. The main reason of concern is it I a similar feeling to what happens when I get a hsv2 outbreak.

Thank you or the reply. It was intact and held fine. Any chance at all the virus can get through the latex? If she had a high viral load?

You've been reassured on this forum, as well as on the expert forum.  There really isn't anything else we can tell you, except to seek out professional help for your anxiety and preoccupation with HIV.  You never had a risk, you certainly do not need testing, and if you do test, it will be negative.  Spend your time and money on mental health help instead of chasing your tail about HIV, which isn't a concern for you.

Condom protected sex is 100% safe sex, if the condom does not break during sex. You were not exposed to the risk because you used protection. HIV is not your concern
