I’m having really bad anxiety about hiv. I’ve been having ulcers pop up but they do not hurt. One came after the other after 3-4 now I’m constantly searching in my mouth for more ulcers which is giving me really bad anxiety where I have attacks. I have one right now and it’s going away pretty quickly. I do not have a sore throat or swollen lymph nodes. I do have have thrush or anything else but I’m still having really bad anxiety and basically searching all through google trying to see if I have it or not. I’m way too scared to get tested.  The last time I was active was about a month ago and I got ulcers right when I was active. Please help before I break down..

    HIV? Can you answer a few questions for me.

    1) when you had sexual activity, what did you do?

    2) what're all the symptoms you are having?

    3)Did you use protection?

      1. I was sexually active about a month or so ago. I noticed the last day I was active I had an ulcer. It didn’t hurt and it took a week and a half to heal up. 

      2. I’ve had sparse headaches but they aren’t super bad, probably just from stress. I have ulcers, but one came after the other. No thrush, nothing else but the ulcers. No stomach pains. Nothing. But I’m still so paranoid. And it may seem stupid but I’m kind of stressing over it 

      3. Since it was oral, there was no protection. But it technically wasn’t oral. Just a finger in her (sorry for that lol) and I put my finger in my mouth afterwards (so vaginal fluids). Even if It was a small amount do you think I could still be effected?

    You may have caught a strain of Herpes, causing the mouth ulcers.

    I see no evidence for HIV.

    Have you talked to her?

      The ulcer is going away quickly could just be stressing too much over it causing me to not be able to get enough sleep at night so I was tired. Have not seen/felt anymore ulcers luckily
