Scared.

I was told that I couldn't become positive through semen being shot into my eye, but I'm scared that I'm beginning to get symptoms. I have a blotchy red-ish rash on the inside of my elbow, I'm fatigued and my left eye lid has been twitching. I went to my doctor, and her opinion didn't really help my fear. She said that becoming positive is very likely through semen contact to the eye. I'm losing sleep over this. I think I'm just over the three week mark on my encounter, and I've never been more scared in my life.
Why did my doctor tell me it's possible, and I was told here that it's not?

yeah it's "possible", but it is NOT PROBABLE!

It's possible that the earth is going to explode tomorrow. But so what?

there is no reported case of transmission occurring through getting semen into eyes..
you should not worry and dont require a test
your doctor is talking of what she read in medical books,but not what she sees in real life..
if you ask her,"have you seen someone getting infected through this method?" she will say no..
so dont lose your mind over this
