Please educate me
A month ago I had protected sex with an escort. I thought I was fine until last week when anxiety started getting to me, I broke out in rashes that came and went my mind is my worst enemy. So on day 29 from this intercourse I went to urgent care and got tested for clymediah gihonnerhea and HIV. All came back negative. On the testing day which was 3 days ago I noticed dry mouth symptoms, and today they are worst I even developed some sores on inner lip and roof of mouth, is this just my anxiety or did I test to early
how can it be hiv related? YOU HAD NO RISK ! ! !
please...kindly move along...you do not have a hiv concern.

Damn I just start to believe I had no risk of HIV and I just noticed that the back of my tongue has huge lesion on it it's white. Wtf this is my 6 th week after my incident no way this is related right?
Sorry to ask u this because I know you have told me I have no risk and I pray u r correct but two weeks ago I developed post nasal drip I'm pretty sure I figured out that is not a symptom I barely feel it now, the only thing bothering me is the rash I have on chest and back it's pink some turned darker like a freckle it's small not raised not itchy never there before. My anxiety rashes always itched Or felt hot. I didn't supply the condom the escort did. I do believe in condoms working but this rash is so coincidental. I mean 4 weeks post my incident and still here at 6 weeks

Yes I realize that now thank you after the first response I calmed down and I feel like my dry mouth is getting better. It's hard to keep anxiety down when health officials say I need to retest at 3 month then my anxiety does take over and I know from every thing I've read and been taught an intact condom prevents HIV But my anxiety was really bad today and this site has helped me through it.Thank you and yes teek I get it but it's hard with anxiety to just let go
You can find ANYTHING when you google...including that HIV was started by an alien invasion.
STOP searching the internet, you're only fueling your anxiety.

Yes I know that I just wanted to be sure my dry mouth symptoms could be caused by stress and anxiety. First time I did something like this and for some reason my mind keeps ******* with me

Dry mouth and sores are very common,we all get them from time to time.Just know that you can be 100% sure you don't have HIV.
I was more worried about the dry mouth and sores lol...thank you for the fast response you made my day
You have nothing to fear--you don't have HIV--you used protection and it didn't fail you.The rashes are not related to the incident.
Thank you. For that the last month has been hell I have two beautiful kids and I'm scared to kiss them with my mouth this way. I was scared to touch them with the rashes just f ing hell on my mind and nerves
You had protected sex,therefore you never had a risk and you can stop testing--your symptoms are stress related.
