I'm a wreck. All of the symptoms even though I've tried to be safe

Never had unprotected sex, but I fingered a CSW and since I've felt like crap. Flaky skin on my face that caused patches of paleness to appear. Swollen node on the right of my neck and left of my jaw that hasn't went down. I can also feel lumps where my neck and shoulder connect. A cough for months that finally went away. A floater in my eye. Sore arm pits. I'm so scared. I really have always tried to be safe.

But isn't everyone's experience different? I had a paper cut that I didn't even notice till a day after and I have HSV1 in my blood. Isn't that a dangerous combo?

You stated in your post and I quote, "Never had unprotected sex, but I fingered a CSW and since I've felt like crap." You never had a risk and had you searched the forum you would have found 3986 questions and answers on fingering.

R u saying I should've searched first or the part about guilt?

I was prepared to forget this, but things just kept popping up. The Cough came first, Then Months later I started to lose pigmentation on my face. Then I noticed lumps on my neck.

I really afraid how I will react to a positive result. I don't want to hurt anyone, but I don't know if I can help myself. I'm a good person, but I'm scared and pissed all at the same time.
