I KNOW THIS IS VERY LONG BUT PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ!!

Hi about 6 months ago I slept with two people unprotected stupid I know about 5 days later I'm came down with the worst illness I couldn't move out of bed for 3 days after that I was fine about 2 weeks later I had seen these weird things in the back off my mouth so I got straight onto doctor google to see what it was I seen things like thrush which was linked to hiv and ever since I have been obsessed shortly after that I'd found out that what I had in my mouth was completely normal about a month later I went on. Night out we're I had been taking drug all night the next morning I woke up with the worst blocked nose ever I felt terrible that night I had to sleep with my head slightly raised to be able to clear my nose then next morning I woke up sweating and with a sore neck which I thought the sore neck was just stiff from the awkward sleep anyway to reassure my self I went onto google typed in my symptoms and seen about hiv seroconversion which had similar symptoms also I seen loss of appetite and that day I had been eating fine and as soon as I seen that I could not put a single thing in my mouth which didn't last long but from this I was convinced I had hiv I have also always suffered with a toe fungus which got a little bit worse which has been making me stress I have also now got a girlfriend and everytime she is ill or anything I panic I spend around 3-4 hours per day reading different symptoms and seem to get them after I read them also I have also suffered with a fungal rash which I have had for years and the rash came back but I was convinced it was something to do with hiv which my doctor told me that it's my normal rash I have had an inflamed penis after sex with my girlfriend and a tiny rash on my shaft that went after a day I feel like I am over analysing my body and constantly looking to find new things wrong with me and don't think I'm realising that these are normal things my girlfriend has been tested for everything recently and everything back negative I am scared to get tested what are people's thoughts I no the best thing to do is to get tested but I just want peoples opinions thank you

    I also had these small growths on my penis shaft which I thought were warts my doctor told me there papules and nothing to worry about everybody I talk to about all of this they tell me I'm being to dramatic and the doctors have referred me to someone about my anxiety I'm constantly telling people to reassure me I'm fine

    Wow my god 

    Let me tell you first you slept with two people unprotected and now you are having unprotected sex with your girlfriend ? and you are scared to get tested 

    This is so wrong in so many levels MAN UP you made the error you need to deal with it 9/10 you won’t have HIV but it takes up to 6 months to show up 

    But sleeping with your girlfriend in the meantime is weak wrong and immature 

    Your lifestyle seems to be out of control out all night drugs drinking so I would suggest you get this sorted 

    As for the HIV « man up » and go and speak to your Dr and tell your girlfriend you have now brought her into the problem if you have had unprotected sex with her she deserves to know so she can get tested 

    Take a look at your lifestyle and get this sorted drugs will lead to later mental health issues later in life abd unhealthy lifestyle feeds anxiety 

    But I tell you stop delaying going to Dr to get tested and tell your girlfriend she has the right to know even if you loose her

    You have n’axe a serious error but not dealing with it won’t make it go away learn from this
