Hi all,
Back story -
I've been in a relationship with the same guy for 5 years. We are both monogamous. I had no sexual partners before him and he had 3 other sexual partners. He used condoms with 2 but the third was just a one time oral-sex deal and he didn't use anything as far as I know.
We waited like 2-3 years into our relationship to have sex and we always used a condom (except for oral.) A month or so ago we decided to rely on the pill, but we used the withdrawal method too. We had sex 4 times condomless and then I got a yeast infection and I felt kind of run down. I treated my yeast infection with an over the counter three day treatment and then I started to get bad menstrual cramps and I got my period four days early. (I was under A LOT of stress at the time and I had just recently gone back on the pill so I know some of those things could have factored into it.)
I've been having a lot of dizzy spells lately and my chest is sore. Also yesterday I had a sore throat and I just don't feel "right." I've had a really coated tongue too.
I went to my doctor who gave me a once over and he did a complete urinalysis. Not pregnant and no cystitis/bladder infection/kidney infection. Before we had "unprotected" sex I went for a pap test/std swabs and my swabs came back negative but I didn't go for an HIV test.
Of course I come home... type in my symptoms and the first thing that pops up is HIV/AIDS.... now I'm terrified.
I've been reading things saying that an HIV test could just aggravate my anxiety more.... thoughts?
