A little too worried about HIV
Hello,i have been coming back and forth to the forum for the past 2 weeks.
In my life i had 3 risky sexual activities.One was two years ago (condom broke when trying to penetrate,penetration did not occur but some skin may have touched the vagina),one last year with a japanese girl (claims not to be infected,but vaginal sex and oral sex happened without a condom) and last one was june 28,this summer with a finnish woman (5 minutes,no ejaculating,but without condom vaginal sex).Two weeks ago i started to have abdominal pain and low grade fever so i went to the hospital suspecting appendicitis.They sent me home with a gastroenteritis diagnosis,did take my medicine but the symptoms are still here.Lower Abdominal pain,37C fever (occuring always when i think i may have HIV), constipation,a hard lymph node on my upper right side of the groin, i have some trouble with my knuckle joints,they become stiff when i keep pressing my finger for 1-2 minutes on a surface,also my index finger and ring finger have tiny skin colour bumps,scaly in touch,have some bumps on my chest area,skin colour not scaly, and i ve noticed 5 pinhead sized red spots,three on my arms,one on the back and one in my lower left abdomen.
On a sidenote,i lived in highly unsanitary conditions for 2 months until last week,including rotting food,some tiny bugs,tiny flies,tiny white worms.
HIV or typhoid fever AND OCD? please help me.
Also, i m really scared to get tested for hiv,i ve even considered suicide in case of a positive result.
Thanks in advance,

"i ve even considered suicide in case of a positive result." To say this is very disrespectuful to the people living with HIV. If you really have those thoughts then see a therapist.
Test 3 months post last exposure which would be now for a conclusive result. We can not diagnosis you only a test can.
