I am very worried i don't know what to think...

Hi,

I recently had unprotected sex whilst on holiday in Turkey with an English girl. The whole thing only lasted a couple of minutes i did not pass fluid (ejaculate) as i was under the influence of alcohol when the girl approached me in a club and when we proceeded i didn't really know what i was doing then i realized i was not attracted to this girl so i stopped... i rushed home and cleaned my downstairs thoroughly in the hope that if she did have anything i could wash it out (pretty stupid i know) ever since then i have been paranoid that i have caught something and i realized i potentially could of contracted HIV amongst other things so i research the symptoms of which i currently have none of, However i still keep checking my lymph node's and am paranoid they are swollen as i previously never checked that region before. when i feel the area it feels like lots of ligament strands (if that make's sense) but they do not hurt when i touch them which is normally the case if lymph nodes are infected/swollen?

this ordeal happened just over 4 weeks ago and i have no signs of any infection but never the less its still not helping with my anxiety... I keep getting shaky hands, blurred vision and a really heavy heart beat that i can feel throughout my whole body.

i was just wondering what you advise and hopefully put my mind at ease and help control my anxiety.

You need to be tested for both STDs and HIV. You can obtain your conclusive test result 3 months post exposure. Your STD question will have to be answered in the STD forum.
