risks involve and testing


Dear doctor,

I have been struggling with anxiety for the past two years. I had a traumatic experience. I have gone thru numerous and repeated tests for HIV STDS Hepatitis etc (more t han once in every possible interval). I have been in a commited relationship but have become paranoid over things since I began to research a lot. I have been safe since then one partner...

I recently met a girl(escort) I knew I didnt want to do anything so there was No Sex NO oral no kissing just a brief touching and hugging over clothes friendly...  but she accidentally hit my mouth with her fist. Her finger came in contact in my mouth and hit my tooth good thing I didnt bite down. I didnt see any wound on her finger nor did she complain of pain she checked her finger. I checked my lip and I saw a very small wound that didnt bleed but when I dabbed it with a towel there was a speck of blood. I even spat on the floor but no blood.The wound healed the next day and it didnt even hurt that night. I cant tje this do I need to worry Thank you
I beleieve I dont need to test everytime I think there is a risk or do I? Im geeting married the girl whom I love this year

A) AM I at risk for HIV or stds? ( blood to blood) very small chance
B) Do I need to test again I cant go thru this again I have been sake no risk
C) AM I just overly paranoid or crazy

With all due respect, Jose has answered this fully.

"Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I can assure you that you were not at risk of HIV or any other STD.
You do not need any test at all whatosever.
And finally, yes, I would say that you are overreacting and possibly obsessing about nothing.  You need to forget about it and move on.  Otherwise I would certainly suggest that you get some psychological help.
Best wishes,
Dr José"

We wont be responding to any more of your posts on this so please don't carry on spamming.
