hi. i was out of town a month and a half ago and strayed from my relationship with my girlfriend when i went to a bar got drunk and ended up back at the hotel with an older woman, about 40, ten years older. we preformed oral sex on each other and that was it. after the oral sex she wanted to have sex, which i refused (no condom) and she was very mad. she turned her back on me and i went to the other bed and passed out. the next morning i woke up and she was gone. later that day when i was driving i started thinking about hiv and then about the possibility of her 'murdering me' by injecting me with infected blood. (i know how ridiculous that is, trust me) however i couldn't get this out of my head. after getting home after a week i started feeling different symptoms so i started researching hiv symptoms online, and some were the same. i really started to panic and i started getting constant headaches, dry mouth, severe nausia and a constant pain in the back of my neck and shoulders. the most help i've had is these forums on line. i've discovered that its mostly anxiety i'm feeling, with many of the same symptoms and that the injecting theory is just ridiculus! the problem is the symptoms have not gone away, even after i thought i'd convinced myself that nothings was wrong. i even tracked down the woman, who had told me where she was working, and she was very pleasent woman, very nice. even this has not helped me. is this guilt about my girlfriend (i've learned my lesson trust me) how can i make these symptoms go away? it seems like i can't get back to normal untill they do. is there anything i can do?
