please help me im panicked
hi everyone,
I am 25 and i am practically virgin in the sense that i have never had sex that involved penetration. However, i received oral sex (3 times) and gave twice (for less than i minute without ejaculating in my mouth) and both these guys reassured me that they were not HIV positive. I know it was stupid of me to trust them but i am really worried, in fact panicked, that i am infected ( if this is the right term to use) cause one of my tooth is unsealed and needs to be fixed and i read that this is one of the possibilities that one could get infected. There has been almost a month since the last time I gave oral sex. I recently moved to a new place temporarily and in order to go to my university i have to travel for 3 hours a day and the last few days have been a mess, i am all dizzy, all tired, losing balance, headaches, feeling that i am about to get sick and i naively googled the symptoms of HIV and some of them coincide with what i am experiencing now and i am afraid i am passing seroconversion! of course, a pharamacist told me that it is simply due to travel sickness and gave me some pills but he did not know the possibility of my being infected with HIV. these days have been a hell, it has become the only think in my mind literally is quite disfunctional. I cannot think of anything else. I am moving back to my country next Saturday and i' m afraid that if i go there i won't have the choice to get tested discretly and that makes it even worse. I am also aware that i have to wait a certain period of time to get tested but this feeling is just getting so so unbearable. please just give me an advice or anything
