Paranoid. Just help reassure me.

Hi. I've never posted to these but have read thousands. I can't stop thinking I have HIV. About a yer ago, I had unprotected sex once with a woman I met. Once. We were only doing vaginal Sex for about a minute before I freak about getting her pregnant and telling her to get off. I have bothered this woman so much asking her if she has HIV. Luckily she has reassured me that she does not. I feel bad for asking her but my anxiety keeps pestering me. About 7 months ago I received oral. She complained after about having repetitive strep. This is a different woman. I wondered if i could help her by googling it. Holy **** I thought she had HIV from repetitive infections. She had tonsils taken out and is fine. I took 2 hiv tests after 3 months and both negative. The 2 out 12 being false negative scared me. The only symptom I have is my stool isn't as full as before and seems to be a bit softer. This has been going on since the blowjob. I got a colonoscopy after begging my doctor it was fine. It is stool going on tho. My questions are am I at a big risk? Is Oraquick reliable? Has anyone hearing about stool being soft and or not as bulky not diarrhea as being a sign of HIV. Thanks.

False negatives do not happen when directions are followed.

As for your stoll see a Dr if concerned, not related to HIV

I agree completely that HIV is not transmittable through oral. I was wondering why the vaginal was so low.

Because they are ultra conservative with estimates. If you remember a few years abotu with the sine flu and bird flu. Well nothing came of either.

I have seen a doctor about it. They said it is fine. I appreciate your time very much. Just out of curiosity. I keep seeing reports about heterosexual hiv from female to male is rare. Not trying to say anything offensive but how rare is it really? According to the CDC risk percentages it is about 1 in 2,500 or 0.04%. In retrospect, they sight that receving a blowjob is also about 1 in 2,500 and 0.04%. Why is this? Is it really that rare? Thank You

Okay. What about my stool being the way it is. Have you ever heard of that being a symptom? Also, for the Oraquick, I know you said that it is conclusive but why is it that they find 2 out of 12 false negative? Testing too soon, eating 30 minutes before, reading test wrong? Thanks for you quick reply as well sir. I am just worried.

Oral sex is not a risk, unprotected vaginal and/or anal sex is. A test 3 months or beyond is conclusive.

Also I don't think I ever really paid much attention to my poop as before. The diarrhea symptom on google had me checking my stool to see if I had it. I never got sick or anything else.
