Hey everyone, i'm a 27 year old gay male
and recently i've been very anxious about
something...About a month or so ago, I had
unprotected sex (for the first time) with
someone i've known and loved for about a
year. But for some reason, the whole
thing seemed odd to me afterwards and I
started getting nervous. Just recently I
looked up symptoms and I noticed I have
some of them. I haven't been test since
the night, but he told me he was negative
and I thought I knew it was true. I mean,
I didn't think he'd lie to me...Anyway, I
have been really restless and tired, and
i've had diarrhea. But the thing about
the diarrhea is that I also became a
vegetarian recently and that definitely
effects my bowel movements. And today I
felt my glands, and they're swollen. I am
getting so nervous and anxious, and I know
I need to take the test, but the thing
is..I'm too scared to because I feel like
with me knowing these symptoms I know what
the answer is. Is it anxiety because i've
been worrying about it since that night,
or do you think I could be infected?
Please help me, i'm on the verge of a
nervous breakdown

hi I hope i'm doing this
right. This is my firt time i'm replying.
Dont get nervouse, but people lie and
being you are gay that does make the
matter worse. What I mean is you haev a
higher risk. My opinion of what yiur
going through is just from stress and
anxiety. Let me tell you I was daying a
guy and around that time I developed
anxiety attacks but not knowing they were
anxiety attacks. One day I had the shits
so bad I was shitting water out y ass. I
was scared and crying. Ever since that I
had went to the doctor. He diagnosed me
with ibs irritable boul syndrome. I wasnt
faithful to taking my pills and yet I had
gomne to the city with him and came back
with another episode of me on th shitter.
Over time it just turned out to be
nervous. I had gone through a life trauma
through it all and I was the one making
myself caca like that from being so
nervouse. I would even take immodium
befor work afraid I was going to caca, but
worrrying about shitting made me caca. So
you need to just relax, and find a place
that makes you calm either in your mind or
an actual place. I have a place and its
the beach, dont laugh,but i've never been
to one so I dream about it. Thats what
calms me down. I hope this helped cause
it helped me that an a few doses of xanex.
Good luck!

Honestly, get a hold of yourself, get a
test, stop worrying, put your mind at
ease. Do you want to live? Or just make
your life miserable?

to Answer Your Question! Posted: 07-24-05 20:59pm
Reality!
Welcome to reality!
You now need an hiv test. So go and get
it. Chances are that you'll be fine, but
don't act shocked or surprised. This
doesn't mean you have hiv, but you need to
deal with the matter as an adult and
refrain from any sexual contact which is
unprotected, period. Your body does have
a magical way of creating symptoms, but
you chose reality.
So go and be real!
Write me back, or im me if things get
worse. I'll tell you what I know and
will help you out.
