So a week ago i had unprotected sex with a person i dont know. i asked if he was clean and he said yes, but who knows.

i have a huge fear of getting herpes. a few days later i started feeling un well, now my glands in my neck are super swollen and sore. i think i make be getting leg pains or tingles but i dont know it that is because im constantly thinking about it and ive made myself have symptoms because im over reacting. ive been to three doctors and they all say i dont have lesions.

i guess my question is, is it possible to overthink myself into having symptoms, and if i do actually have tingling ect what is the usual amount of time that a lesion would then form?
