and i really appreciate the work you and lizzie are doing on this forum - taking out time to quell fears and anxieties of strangers and how you must be short run for time. but could you provide a more longer answer. i know its asking a lot. it would just put me at ease and at least let me reduce my anxiety and hopefully all the symptoms too which may have been brought about by that resulting in more anxiety and so on...
the other day it really helped until i was hit by sore throat, and now body pain and tiredness and maybe mild fever

and i know its going to be really tough luking at that test result, i mean. most definitive moment. and i dont have anyone to confide in - except the strangers on a forum
thanks Teak. i forgot to mention it then too.
ok I missed one thing in the post earlier. i didn't realise it then while posting. maybe because of anxiety. i did give them oral sex. still a low risk encounter, right. but no condom barriers were used.
its just that its been 3 weeks now. and I have started developing pains in my body (back and legs), sore throat and i think mild fever too. (and I have been sleeping well). i know its the winters but I can't convince myself. i should never have had sex except in a relationship
Its really bothering me and i continously check my neck and body for symptoms multiple times a day to see if any new symptoms are developing. i live in a very judgemental society and i am damn wary of the first signs too.
it s been really harming my health. i have almost become a hypochondriac and am so jittery - so unlike me. i cant focus on anything. i also feel tired all day. it cant be all work and winters.
i just want to get a definitive answer
as some places say that there is still a chance, not no chance
