good morning.
First of all let me apologize for my bad english, as i writting you from outside US.
A few weeks ago (4 weeks to be precise) i had submited myself into a risk that i regret everyday since then. I went to Spain for the weekend and in one of the nights i ended having unprotected vaginal and oral sex with a girl wich STDs status is unknown to me. The vaginal sex lasted less than a minute, as i realized we couldn't be doing that without a condom... She's 21 and i'm 26.
Even though i haven't been experiencing any of typical ARS symptoms, lately i'm feeling anxious and stress.
i think i also have swollen lymph nodes in the neck, but i'm no specialist so i can't tell if they are normal or not. My muscles are tense, i'm depressed and i'm having trouble to sleep, and though i try to appear normal, all that is becoming impossible to hide and it's reflecting in my daily work and in my relashionship with friends and colleagues. I've a girlfriend that i adore, and we're not having sex since this happened. questions are starting to appear as she realizes that i'm strange and distant. I don't want her to think that it's her fault, but i dont know what to do anymore, and i just can't hide this for much longer...
I've been doing a lot of reading these days, and by the way, let me thank you for all the help this website has been providing me, appart from all the other things available in the internet.
I know noe that my risk is low, and i also know that symptons are not meaningful, but as time passes i'm starting to feel more worried and afraid with the idead that i might in fact have something after all...
I'm planing to do a test at the 8 week and another at 3 months...
I guess all i'm looking now is some peace of mind, and some reassurance from someone who is a specialist in this matter. I never experienced anything like this before. i feel really dumb. i'm just counting the days, and this idea is constantly in my mind
Does anyone knows what i'm talking about? Does a negative test at the 8 week gives enough evidence that everythings fine with me? And if so, do you believe that i can restart my sexual activity with my girlfriend? we never use condoms so i can't simply start using one without rising more questions...
it would be great if i could get any help from some specialist
best regards
