Anxiety has gone through the roof. ARS Symptoms?
So I've already made another post explaining what happened to me (feel free to browse my profile again guys!)
For a while I seemed to be at ease after Teak told me I was of no risk from oral sex and HIV
but my anxiety has returned
My itching/crawling skin won't go away
Today marks 3 weeks and 3 days past exposure and underneath my chin all along the left side of my face I have developed a raise rash which itches here and there.
I would take a picture but it's hard to see in photos but looks like a bed of welts and light bumps (not red, just brown the same colour as my skin)
After my panic attack last night I turned to my sister, one of the only people who knows what I'm going through and she lost it, she contacted the guy that I was with before this all started to happen [because he wouldn't respond to me ever] and he told her that I was being crazy bc he knows he's clean etcetera etcetera but I just don't believe him, maybe he doesn't know
If he was clean then why am I experiencing all of the symptoms of HIV
Week 1; "positive" for strep- 7 days of amoxi (sore throat, tonsils irritated etc) diarrhoea from antibiotics, no appetite
Week 2; itching begins, headaches (worsen bc of crying from stress)
Week 3; still itching, no appetite
Week 4; lightheadedness, muscle twitches, vision blurred often, no appetite, ear pains, new facial and neck rash which itches on and off
I've been to the doctor, had blood work and physical assessments done and nothing comes up
They said that I should move on and that my chances were almost 0 risk but what if Im in that 0.09% percentile
I don't know how to ease my anxiety anymore. I just want to end my life and not have to deal with this anymore, my mom would be so ashamed, I can't make it to the 6 week mark, I'm giving up.

I read your previous post and I agree with teak.
HIV is not transmitted that way .
Testing would be a waste of time .
