I know this is so ridiculous but I just cant relax!
My health anxiety has been triggered and I'm now scared I've got HIV which I know sounds irrational.
I had a blood test to check iron levels a month or so ago and the nurse wasn't wearing any gloves and didn't clean my arm and I'm so scared that it could have transmitted that way, also a friend of mine is at risk of it and I'm worried from spending time with her I could have caught it.
I know its hard to catch and everything but I've got swollen lymph nodes, really large ones around my neck and throat, have had this since last year and I always feel run down and tired.
I'm going to the doctors next week but what exactly should I say without sounding absolutely mental?
I know the chances are slim but I always feel so groggy and the only thing I can think of is HIV, I've been diagnosed with coeliac disease recently which makes you feel tired and stuff but I just cant use that as an excuse as to why I've always got large lymph nodes.
Please help put my mind at ease, I'm going mad.
Thanks.
