hiv anxiety!!!

Hello and welcome!

I am sorry to hear of your current worries.:(

The encounter that you describe is not one that is considered high risk for you...

Add that to the fact that your test was negative, and I really believe you have nothing to worry about.

Have you struggled with health worries previously? I ask because health anxiety makes it hard for us to believe even conclusive proof of our health.

If you struggle with ongoing health related anxiety, there is help and hope. If this is the case, post back and allow us to support you, and offer ideas about how to get help.:)

P.S. In the future, using protection every time will bring you peace of mind!

Anto,

I am very sorry to hear this. I hope that you reported the act, and that you are able to heal from such a trauma with time and help if you choose to seek it.

As far as the anxiety, what if anything have you tried thus far...medication, therapy, self help?

Do you have access to the first two?

We have a Resource Guide filled with self help material at the top of the main forum page here. Check it out and try one of the suggested exercises there...they can help.

Keep talking with us as well if you find it helpful. We understand, care and support is key.

Talk soon,

HI hun
Ive dealt with an HIV scare in the past. The 3 months is very conclusive and its nothing you should be worried about anymore. You don't even know if the person even had HIV...
I had someone that I was with that was HIV positive with my unknowing and tested negative.
My Dr even said its very unlikely to get HIV even with an infected person.
Your anxiety is just lying to you, making you feel more in touch with your body and therefore spotting small symptoms that are actually anxiety related.
Don't worry anymore about this. Close the chapter.
As for the rape, I would tell the local police about this. This person has put you through hell and should pay the consequences.
