Anxiety Working over time
Folks
Nearly at my wits end.
Had protected sex and unprotected oral with a CSW in Dublin on 21st of June, a few days later i got what i can only say was a funny feeling in my penis. Got hyper excited and worried so i went to a Private STD Clinic on the 7th of July, where i got tested for HIV,HEP B, Goneaherra,Clymidia and Syphillis. I know its too soon for the HIV,HEP B and Syphillis and i need a retest at 3 months. The test included 2 tubes of blood, a uretral swab, a urine sample and a gram stain. My doctor also did a physical exam down there lots of poking and looking around. His intial judgement was all was ok
My results returned a week later on the 14th of July and all was negative, i have to return in Mid Sept to get bloods for the end of the window period.
I relaxed for a few days and thought all was ok, but my anxiety has gone into overdrive since, the reason is i have a lovely wife and 3 kids, i cannot understand why i did what i did and i am convinced i have something, can't sleep or eat, can't get an erection, wife will soon wonder why our sex life is gone to nought, i seem to have on and off left testicle pain, nothing cronic and a red scrotom, i don't have a fever or discharge or pains anywhere else, i don't have chills.
I am worried that i got a false negative for clymidia and goneaherra, i realise my HIV risk is low, that i nearly should have a syphillis sore at this stage if am to get one and that hep b should be causing something at this stage. am i going mad or have a justifed fears

Just so you know the anxiety got the better of me and i went for a re-test at my local hospital. Got screened for everything, much better than the private clinic i went to. This male nurse was possibliy the nicest human being i have ever met. So understanding and gave me a bit of counselling about my axiety. The end result is that i am negative for everything that can be tested for. The only thing i can really worry about is HPV.
I actually slept 8hrs last night, after eating a massive lunch just now so looks like i am going to get back to normal in no time
