Do I have HIV?


Im a 30 year old male, I slept with a Canadian girl on vacation and also got a hand job from her friend.  I used a condom during intercourse, but not when she gave me oral.  I woke up two days later with a soar throat (i had been drinking hard liqueur all night)  I also had a stomach ache.  I went online and checked a few web sites and started to freak-out.  I noticed my tung had some white stuff on it, so I really started to freak out.  I went to a Mexican hospital and got tested ( week after intercourse) The test was negative.  I am now at home feel like sick and ac hey and I have very dry eyes.  I have gone to three doctors and they have all said, That my chances of testing positive are very low, but I can't sleep at night. I just keep thinking I have HIV.  I had blood tests done again, but I have to wait two weeks for the results.  I am going insane!  Please let me know what you guys think and Im sorry if this question has been asked.

You didn't need to test in the first place. You were at no risk, but since you have tested, go to any question of HIV Expert Forum and they would tell you a 6 week result almost conclusively establishes your HIV status (which was always negative).
There are times when anxiety causes a lot of psychosomatic disorders. I wouldn't say if what you are experiencing are psychosomatic,however, I can say with 100% certainity that its not HIV related.
Relax now and move on!

Listen to the doctors...I bet all 3 of them are correct. You are probably not insane. You do have some issues about casual sex...LEARN from them.
