severe depression, can't move on with my life

Hello everyone,
Thanks for reading my post. I'm a bi fem who received oral from another female of unknown status 9 months ago. After the encounter I found out that I had gotten Chlamydia from her. I was shocked because I never knew that someone could have Chlamydia in their mouth and infect someone through oral sex. When I found out it was about 2 1/2 weeks after exposure. I took an elisa test at that time, which was neg. I retested at 87 days via Rapid test where they prick your finger and again after 90 days with an oral swab. Both test were neg. I don't know if I'm just paranoid, but I can't stop thinking that I may have been infected still especially since I contracted Chlamydia. I read somewhere that other STDs increase your risk of HIV. Anyway I took another blood test and am waiting for the results. I'm just really freakin out. What are the chances of false negatives. Can I rely on the rapid tests that I took? Thank you for your time

YOu can rely on your tests primarily because there is NO risk associated with cunnilingus. Not only is saliva not infectious, but it also contains over a dozen identified elements which render HIV inert. Other STDs, as you are sadly aware, are far more robust. While it's relatively rare to get chlamydia from receiving cunnilingus, it is not unheard of.

In the history of the HIV pandemic not a single person (male or female) has ever gotten HIV from receiving oral sex. I daresay you won't be the first.

Thank you kindly. I think the Chlamydia diagnosis really scared me because when I told the doctor how I got it he said he'd never heard of it being transmitted through oral sex, then my mind began to wonder and I started thinking maybe I could've contracted HIV also, but thank you so much, I feel a lot better and more at ease.
