    If you did the tests and they were all negative, you don't have to worry. I think it's more anxiety and paranoia on your part. Relax, I really understand you. Research the symptoms of hiv! I don't think you have it.

      I trust. If in doubt, take another test, but I think it's been a long time ... if you had HIV, you should have tested positive...

      Did you have unprotected sex?

      If not, unlikely to have HIV

      So 99% sure you don't have an STI. But do another test so you will be more relaxed. I hope I helped ❣

    Hey! I think you might have some form of OCD. When I was younger, I constantly had doubt in my mind that I had HIV. It was an unrealistic fear caused by constant doubt (which is part of OCD).I even had those pee sized lumps in my neck checked (they are palpable and move)and I still have them 10 years later. No matter what doctors told me, I felt validated for a little bit then had overwhelming doubt fill my mind again. I didnt realize this was part of OCD because I always assumed people with OCD do repetitive physical actions like hand washing etc...but in reality its considered the doubting disease..look it up...simple search on google "HIV fear doubt OCD" will pull stuff up lol. And over the years, you'll realize that one fay youll forget about HIV and start obsessing over something else.
