Hiv Risk ??? So scared !!?!
Question: Hiv Risk ??? So scared !!?
Im 18 year old female senior in high school. About a 2 years ago I lost my virginty to my ex boyfriend of 1 year. We both lost it to each other. I knew he was clean and he knew I was clean. Then after that I had sex with 2 other guys. So I had sex with 3 guys my whole life. The second guy I was dating for about 6 months and we had sex off and on and then the 3rd guy I dated we only had sex once. I never had a 1 night stand, used drugs, and done anal sex. Im a very clean person and up to date with things. The only this is I had anxiety really bad after my frist boyfriend left me. So my doctor put me on zoloft but before the zoloft for the longest time I was upest because I always felt lightheaded and dizzy and so my docotor wanted to give me a FULL BLOUND COUNT TEST, Urine test and some other test to see if I was okay. She said all my resluts for everything came back normal. So thats when she said I had anxiety. Over a month in half I lost 10 pounds, and I havent been doing anything to work out. I was drunk a few nights those which cause me to throw up. I was also reading on the internet that zoloft Sertraline" causes weight loss/weight gain as one of the side effects. I also had diarrhea, and no appetite for about a week or so. Then another issues I was haveing was allergies this summer. I got them really bad and got cold at first then turned into bad allergies. Then one of my tonsils had a white pus pocket on it and I started freaking out because I thought it was oral thursh and then 2 docotrs that I went to said it wasnt that. Just an infection that happens when you have a cold or something like that, and put me on antibotics now.
Another thing I was scared about was I kept geting vagnial cyst. I two on each side next to my vagina lips under the skin. You cant even see it only I can feel it. I do wear alot of tight clothes and jeans and I always sleep with underwear on, plus I shave alot and I dont tend to change my razors like I should do. THis who hiv scare has me freaking out. I havent had sex in about two years now because of this. I have really hypochondria. And I always seem to look up symptoms on the net saying how things like that can be hiv related. But I dont have a fever or rash, not warts, herpes, outbreaks nothing. I was wondering everything with the weight loss ( 10 pounds and a month and half and being on zoloft for anxiety ) and the vaginal cyst and my the white pus pocket on my tonsils sound I be scared of having hiv ? And what you say my risk and chances are of it and should I stop freaking out ??? Because everytime I go to the docotor and they test me for something they say Im fine.
Answers:
First of all, get checked out for any STD's. Any mental drug can really throw your system off. Your mindset can really get you sick if you worry enough. Read up on alternative health cures/doctors. Lots of them on the web are pretty close to the edge and I am concerned even mentioning them to you. But, go to naturalcures.com and try their free 1 week trial.
get tested for HIV but if you used protection its very unlikely
First off, you need to take a deep breath and relax. It is a good idea to be tested for HIV, just to give you piece of mind. Chances are you are not infected. Second, vaginal cysts are caused by too tight clothing, and shaving. Wear looser clothing for a while and stop shaving to see if it helps. Third, zoloft can cause those side effect, so talk to your doctor about reducing the dose, especially if you have lost weight, or changing the medication all together. Anxiety is very powerful and can cause you body wide upset. You need to talk to someone about these issues and work through the anxiety. When you are anxious, your immune system can become depressed causing colds and tonsillitis. A weakened immune system opens you up to more infections. You need to eat properly, get enough sleep and stay off the internet looking up diseases. Good luck to you.

You are very anxious. When someone is anxious their immune system can crash and they can get reactions like allergies, pus pockets and lose weight... you need to get a handle of your anxiety. Sleeping with men in this state will make you more anxious and feeling vulnerable, you will feel more anxious..
get into activities like yoga, running or meditation..
Find a counselor to talk to so you can work out your anxiety.. I don't think you have HIV especially if you have been tested for it and it came up negative.
your anxiety is what is causing your body to break down..learn what to do for it other than drugs because you will have to learn how to deal with it sooner or later...
when you are ready you will find the right guy who will understand you and love you...you have time to discover who you are..
