Thanks. I forgot to add the girl also gave me chlamydia which fueled the HIV thoughts during and after the illness as I read it's easier to catch when passed with a another STD. I'm at my Whits end.
As iv never even to therapy or know anyone who has been I don't know what to expect. Any ideas what kind happens?
An HIV test at 6 months is a conclusive test. You are negative. When did the stress start? Right after you had sex? Were you stressing about it for 5 weeks and then you became ill? I ask because stress takes a heavy toll on the body and it can actually make you sick. And of course if you are keyed in on one thing such as HIV, every little pain, ache, or whatever you have (things that you wouldn't bat an eye at normally) are now attributed to HIV.
You are in the What-if doubt phase. I can't say if you have OCD or HIV anxiety. The only person that can diagnose you is a professional and since you are still battling your mind after 6 months, it is time to see a psychologist so that you can learn cognitive behavioral therapy. You have to stop yourself from checking. Checking just keeps you in the irrational thinking loop. You need to learn to let the thoughts wash over you and not fight them.
