Hi everyone,
I hope someone could help me. I’m 42 years old and I’ve been suffering terribly with OCD since I was 8 years old. I’ve been off and on meds since I was in my late 20’s. When I was younger I was obsessed with rituals. Now that I’m older I have repetitive thoughts about germs, pregnancy and HIV. My two biggest fears is getting pregnant and contracted HIV. I’ve been in a healthy relationship for six months but I’ve been avoiding having sex. I started birth control two months ago and I had a complete panel of STD test done and HIV. All my test came out negative, thank god. I asked my partner to get his test done and he did as well. My problem is I didn’t physically see his results. He said the doctors office called and he saved the message for me.
1. Do I believe that and move on?
2. Do I tell him I want to see a copy of his test?
3. Will this make me feel better once I do see the results?
Living with OCD has been such a nightmare. I’ve been trying my best to overcome these fears and not ruin this relationship. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you so much :)
