Worried if I can get HIV. Am I at risk?
Hi,
I am a 24 year old male. 2 and a 1/2 years ago, I was in a relationship with a girl of my age and there were times when we were physically intimate with eachother. We never had any sexual intercourse. All that we did was deep french kissing and I also kissed and sucked her breasts.
Since last December 2013, I have been having some stomach problems, weakness, difficulty breathing due to which I went through a series of tests, including HIV which was negative. The only problem was that I had very low levels of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3. In these two months I have been going through a lot of health anxiety and depression because I constantly feel that I have acquired some disease. In this, I also constantly feel If I am at a risk of getting HIV because of the relationship I was in 2 and 1/2 years ago.
I have read mixed opinions on different websites about HIV risk factors due to kissing (which includes breasts).
I am not able to live a normal life due to this anxiety.
