Am I worrying about nothing?

OK. I've been here a bunch of times before and I know that sometimes I'm a super hypocondriac. Below is a description of a recent encounter I had and am a sort of nervious about:

No sex, just breats kissing/licking, making out and hand job. She did have a couple of scabs on back of her ankles from wearing some shoes that dug in and was touching one of the scabs (perhaps with dried blood) before we started.

Some other details about this young lady and more:

Met this girl I dont know from anyone, but I trusted her and did some research on google and such and she seemed OK. She's a student, works as a nursing assistant and apprently needed cash for school. She was into sex or whatever for cash. However, she said she couldn't go through with it and later changed her mind. Thus, with what I learned about her, I believe this was a "one time" thing for cash and she's really just a normal girl. She claimed to be STD free with limited sexual experience. She said she'd like to continue to be firends and maybe more - without cash exchange.

The only time I ever had any form of acuatl sex was in 2006, I was tested for everything except Herpes and HPV(including HIV 4 times) all came back negative except GNU, which was treated. Docs didn't see need to test for anything else. Everything else I've done involved has been mentioned as either low or no risk on either this or the experts forum.

I just seem like a wreck after things like this. Even just kissing sometimes makes me wonder, considering major sources like the CDC say 50-80% of people have oral herpes and it can be passed kissing. And the website "The Body" says a number of STDs, including syphilis, can be passed kissing.

An I worring about nothing here?

You need to talk to your doctor then.  Are you in therapy?  Prozac alone isn't working for you, apparently.  I'm not saying this to be mean - just to help.

Lots of studies show that meds (when appropriate) and therapy works best.

I don't know what kind of symptoms you are having, but they are NOT std related.

Especially since it seems like I have symptoms and things pop up all the time.

You are so worrying about nothing here.  Yes, that many people have herpes type 1, and you might have it already.  Your mom could have it, your grandparents almost certainly do.

I don't know what "a number" of stds means, but the only things that can be passed by kissing are herpes type 1, and in theory, syphilis, though that's a theory, and very rarely is it a reality.

I'd suggest getting some help for your anxiety.  You don't have to live like this, and there are some good meds and therapies for it.
