Hey,
So I haven't used this website in a long while because Ive been doing ok, but now anxiety has crept back up and I need help again... A logical voice if you know what I mean?
On Sunday 10th June I had a hookup with a guy, and we used protection and all that jazz. But Afterwards I discovered that the condom had split on the side close to the tip, and I was unaware of if anything had leaked out into me or not.... (Sorry for the gross details).
Anyway, I went on a night out Monday 11th, Hungover Tuesday 12th, and when Wednesday 12th hit and the hangover was gone, I realised I had a flu. Body aches everywhere, headaches, very swollen throat / glands (to the point its painful to swallow and id rather not swallow anymore), tired all the time, cold all the time despite the fact its actually not cold (my friends keep asking me why I have a jacket on), coughing a lot (including phlegm) and ive had a nose bleed the other day... And more recently, Im waking up covered in sweat and when I go to feel my body for sweat its not actually sweaty its just really cold and I need to rub my body to get rid of the feeling of sweat being there.
So my worry is this. I was fine the first couple days, but now the more I think, the more old habits are coming back up and all I can think is 'what if this is the primary HIV infection stage'... and Its taking over my brain atm and I don't know what to do. I've been doing so well with health anxiety the past few years....
Thanks for any help given.
