NEED HELP

Hi,

I need some help, last November I received protected oral sex from a prositute and had tests at a GUM clinic 18 day after which were negitative. However I have been quite scared that I may have caught a STD. I have been having tingling and burning sensations in my left hand. Can this be anxiety related as it comes and goes and is not constant but regular.

Thanks

you don't have an std sweety. but i know what you are going through because i have been there. it is just in your mind and you pretty much are thinking about all the paranoid things that come with sex and everything that is happening this day in age where hiv/std's are concerned. you tested negative so try your best to relax..

An STD in your hand? I doubt it very much. Protected you had. Tests negative. Just run of the mill anxiety thinking back to what might have been. Call it a lucky escape. We all live and learn.

If it was protected, the chances are slim that you caught anything. You're probably just having some physical manifestations from anxiety.

BUT, any dealings with a prostitute come with some risk. I mean, come on, it is a prostitute. You cannot play and expect not to pay. You assumed the risk. Just my opinion.
