Should I just Call My doctor For My Results?

[eutawville11]

I took an HIV test the other day during my physical, as well as a herpes & syphillis test.  I took the test because i'm 1000% sure I had a herpes outbreak back in February.  I am scared to death of my results. Though I've been not diagnosed with herpes yet, the sores on my penis hurt like hell when they were there.  Not to mention that I broke out in a red rash over my whole torso back & inner thighs in '09 and my lymph nodes swole in my groin area and hurt for NO reason whatsoever! And after the rash subsided, my legs became itchy and flaky. I wasnt even having sex at that time!  I've had unprotected sex with women through the years and now i'm damn near suicidal & depressed as a result of my actions.  My doctor calls you when he has your results and he's called me twice, but I won't answer. I've never had fevers, chronic other conditions, no nausea or vomitting, nor weight loss.  Matter of fact, I've gained weight for the first time in my life. My mom knows I constantly diagnose myself of every sickness in the world when I internet surf, but that rash that was on my body for no apparent reason back in '09 keeps haunting me! What should I do because I'm going crazy!

ANSWER your phone for the sake of yourself and others. Going crazy won't get you anywhere. There's a word for you: hypochondriac. I'm one too and I am always on webmd looking up symptoms. It does not help whatsoever. You're only convincing your mind that you have it.

Call your doctor back. If you have it, then there is treatment. If you don't get the treatment then whatever you have will get worse. STD's suck, but at least you can get them under control if you find them in time.
