Worried about rash. Question for Teak

3.5 weeks ago. I went out to a strip club. About 4 hours earlier that night I cut my finger very badly and it took like 5 minutes to get it to stop bleeding badly. I put 2 band aids on it and am almost certain I covered it all. I talked to a stripper that night and shook her hand. I may of held it 20 seconds or so. I also had a dollar bill in my mouth later and another stripper took it with her breasts which I regret and I had a canker sore on lip. Now 3.5 weeks later last night I was working in yard and felt what was maybe an insect bite or just the irritation of 7 bug bite looking things on back of my neck. Today the area is painful and a little achey and somewhat itchy.  I also see one or two red spots on each side of by body torso like a blemish or bite. Not sure. I can't tell if I am just obsessing on things that always occurred with those or not but its making me very anxious.  Lizzy or Teak what is your respected opinion.   Thank you for reading.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You did absolutely NOTHING to put your family at risk, and were just doing what men are biologically programmed to do. Seems to me that you were just having some honest, perfectly legal adult entertainment. I hope your wife understands that.

Thanks Joggen. I did have that discussion. Minus the dollar bill breast part ( should i mention that too or leave it be)We're fine and working it out just feels very dishonorable as a father. And the fact my stupidity could of put my family at risk really upsets me. Thanks.

All that is going on here is guilt. Maybe you should have an open discussion with your wife about going to such places, so you no longer feel guilty. Then, you will no longer be paranoid about HIV.

Thanks Lizzy. I'm so full of regret from going in that place. So you think the other stuff is normal or bug bites from yard work. Sorry if this sounds juvenile I just have been so anxious over this dumb mistake. I've told my wife what I did regarding the cut finger and strip club. She is annoyed that I keep bringing this stuff up to her.  I need to find a ay to atop obsessing on this. Thanks for your time.
