Scared and anxious after one incident
« on: October 27, 2017, 07:33:45 am »
Hello,

I'd really appreciate if I get an expert opinion on this. On 24.10.2017 I went to a CSW. She did not seem the high end kinds. I did not intend to penetrate ever. So I had unprotected oral from her and then she took her panties off and I stroked above her pussy near the stomach till I came. Ever since then I've been extremely stressed and anxious. I've been diagnosed with anxiety a year prior and was on sertraline uptil 3 months back. I keep googling all my health stuff and then keep getting scared. 36 hours later I was so scared thinking did I enter her? No I didn't. There's no way I could have entered her. I called her and asked but she just kept saying don't worry there's no infection. I've had a sore throat ever since and my appetite which used to be really high has completely gone. I'm running around so worried I went and got entire CBC and HIV tests done. Everything was fine and HIV ab ag test came non reactive. But then they told me this is for anything that happened to you 3 months ago and not of you got infected thereafter. I'm very worried and scared. What are the chances she was infected or I got infected via unprotected oral and unprotected penis on pussy which I don't even remember was there or not. Should I get myself tested again? When is the earliest I can get myself tested for good accuracy. Is 28 days fone for HIV ab ag test. The loss of appetite weight loss and anxiety is really getting to me.

Sorry for the long post. Please help me out. What should I do?

? Who cares, maybe she thought the same about you, who knows.

HIV can and does effect everybody regardless of class, background, social standing, race or sexuality. You can not tell by looking at someone if they are living with HIV or not.

I read the full post including the risk concerns and nothing you mentioned was a HIV transmission risk, nothing at all.

Move on with your life and remember to use condoms for any intercourse and test as routine at least yealry for easier to transmit STI's including but not limited to HIV.

Hi Jim

Thank you so so much for a prompt response. I'm sorry if it came out as condescending to the lady. I don't mean that at all. Can you just take out some more time and let me know whether I need to get tested again and the time period. I'm just scared the vaginal fluids may have come in contact with my penis head. I'm circumsized. Should I stop being worried about this incident? And just pls confirm the test result thing I said. Does it mean I was clean till 3 months ago or 6 weeks ago. Thank you so very much.

Asked and answered.

Ill clarify for you, the fluids was not a HIV transmission risk to you at all and nothing you posted was a risk.

If what you posted is true you have no reason to test as you had no exposure.
