Hi everyone, rececently i've developed a bit of an HIV/AIDS scare. I'm so far managing to keep it slightly under control, but I can feel it creeping back up. And silly me - I googled the symptoms, which was a very bad thing to do, because now I'm even more scared.
I've had the same boyfriend for 4 years. And haven't had sex outside of this. He has never been tested, but doesn't have any 'symptoms' and assures me he's fine. Apart from him i've had sex with my first boyfriend, about 6 years ago and my ex, and I got tested whilst being with him and I was fine.
I'm really starting to get scared, as I feel tired a lot of the time, I have a cough just now thats been here for a week and a bit (although it's pretty much gone so far), but I always feel drained. And i'm very thin, 7 stone. I've always been like that, very high motabilism. Even though I eat lots. Also, my appetite has been very low at the moment, but I guess thats because of my health anxiety appearing again.
One of the symptoms said recurrant thrush. And i've had thrush a couple times. And also the last few times me and my boyfriend had sex it was a bit painful. (sorry if this is too detailed, i'm just really scared :( )
I phoned the NHS clinic today to arrange a test, but no one answered, I think because it's a Sunday.
Am I just being really crazy? Can anxiety cause feeling tired all the time?
God. Can't believe i'm back to all this fear :( I feel like i'm back to square one. It's really awful.
