Worried I have HIV searching for opinions
Okay well first I will start by saying 7 months ago after I had sex with my boyfriend the first time he made a joke about having HIV. About a month later I got diarrhea and didn’t think much of it. 6 months later I am still experiencing severe diarrhea. And I read that could be a sign of HIV. I also believe I had oral thrush. (I have no health insurance) I have been brushing and using mouthwash and tried scraping my tongue and I can’t get the white to come off my tongue. I also read oral thrush could be a symptom of hiv. I broke up with my boyfriend less than a week ago so now I am a little more concerned (since I won’t be just sleeping with the same person) I also already have genital herpes, and read that’s a risk factor. I can be kind of a hypochondriac though so searching for opinions. Thank yoU in advance
