Tested negative, fathful relationship, but symptoms, anxiety?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me, I've been in a faithful relationship with the same partner for four years! And I don't do drugs! About a month ago maybe abit more, I never thought about HIV till someone mentioned they always got tested after they had been with someone, I had never been tested, a couple of days after I started to feel warm but didn't have a temp, my legs were ached and had abit of a sore throat, I had been searching symptoms which obviously scared me!!! I also had white bits on the side of my tongue looked like OHL three doctors and a nurse including my dentist looked at it and said I was stress biting my tongue and my cheek! They said because I've been in a relationship for that long and we were both faithful it was highly unlucky that I wasn't infected but they did it anyway to ease me! The week after it came back negative!!!! So that was a weight lifted, I forgot about it and I felt amazing! THEN, a couple of days ago I started to think maybe they got it wrong now my legs are hurting again! Is it just my anxiety?!?! I just want to move on with my life as I've never thought about anything like this till someone mentioned they always got tested!!!
Can somebody reply again please because this is making me cry! I know deep down I don't have it but there's always the what if! And my anxiety making me feel like I have the symptoms is getting me so upset! I've always been faithful and never injected!

Perhaps you should see your doctor to discuss this again since I already told you all I can about HIV prevention, which matches what he said. This is not an anxiety forum, and there is no HIV issue.
Sorry I did leave a comment but it's disappeared, so do you think it's just my anxiety doing this? As in do you think I'm not at risk?
No risk=no disease=no ARS. I hve no idea why you thought you should get tested.
Your anxiety is making you THINK you have ARS, but as you know, anxiety can't make disease. Your legs didn't get heavier and the doc told you why your tongue had bites on it.

This is what my doctors said, they didn't say I was being silly but they said It's going to come back negative! They said I should just stay away from google as I will compare everything to the symptoms! like my tongue! I thought it looked exactly like OHL but they all said no, thank you for commenting
Can someone please respond to me! I just want to hear someone else's opinion because maybe it is just my anxiety!
