Please help

Hello docs,

Appreciate if you help me. I have many encounters in the past few years for which I am feeling extremely guilty now. For Majority of time I had been engaged in non penetrative sex ( used condom still but no penetration ) . , only foreplay some times , breast sucking mostly. Around 3 -4 times I had protected sex. Pretty sure condom didn't broke.

I have read through the forum questions, I know you all will say its no risk. But I am experiencing many symptoms. Recently I had Ulcerative colitis which lasted for 6 months. I also have developed tinea versicolor which happens to persons who have low immune. I also had pneumonia also last month. I think my immune has become low. I am extremely affraid of testing. Please help me

you already know what we are going to say, you even admitted as much. if you wore condoms and they didn't break, you're not at risk. you other activities are no risk. your symptoms do not matter, they are not used to diagnose HIV, but it's also too far out if its been years. not that it really matters since again, no risk. you have no reason to be afraid of testing. if you test negative that would just reassure you,  if positive(you wont if you have used condoms and do not share needles for using IV drugs) then you would begin treatment to live the best possible life.

also I just noticed you post the same things, you asked the same this February and have asked similar in the past. you seem to have anxiety or a phobia of contracting HIV. you even have one thread it looked like from 2012  with a title along the lines that "you believe you have HIV"

You asked about this before and since you know it is no risk then your question makes no sense now or back then. Talk to your doc about how you get diseases, because it is obvious that they have nothing to do with your HIV theory. Since you already have diagnosis for colitis, pneumonia and tinea, you should have asked the doctor each time when you got the diagnosis.

Thanks for the quick response. I am actually worried since I have these symptoms. One more thing why other websites like thebody differ with the opinions.
