What are my chances?
Hello so in May of this year started dating a man casually and we have had unprotected sex since up until now I had a full check up in July and my HIV test came back negative he recently had a child and was tested as well and he was negative in between the time I had sex with another person however it was protected that happened once I went to the hospital because my blood levels were very low and I am anemic and the doctor wanted me to have a blood transfusion I have been having headaches nausea diarrhea but no fever I just wanted to know if there is a chance I may have contracted HIV or is it just anxiety and my anemia..
The doctor said that the palpitations could be because of my onion yeah he told me that my blood levels were supposed to be at least 15 but they are at 7 my period has lasted for a whole month before the symptoms started but I am not on my. Anymore and I didn't take the blood transfusion he told me to try iron supplements instead I was just wondering my chances if it could be HIV because of my recent Behavior but I appreciate your comment Maybe it is the anemia and just my anxiety and depression

Who diagnosed the palpitations?
People with anxiety in general and HIV in particular imagine all kinds of things going on with their body because they naturally tense up with fear and sweat which makes things go ouch or tingle. The mind starts playing tricks on you the longer this goes on, so try to look at all your "symptoms" objectively to make sure they really exist, and didn't already exist prior to your anxiety focusing your attention to your body.
Your test is proof you don't have HIV.
Protected sex is not a risk, hospitals haven't transfused HIV tainted blood for multi decades and you both tested negative so there is no possibility of HIV. It is time to give that fear up because of all the roadblocks to having HIV that you have in place.'
There is no reason to try to link "symptoms" to a disease you don't have so try to stop worrying about HIV and focus on things that can happen instead.
