I just forgot to mention a thing. When I was rinsing my mouth I noticed a very small piece of skin (outer covering) was stuck in my braces. I pulled it out and then again rinsed my mouth.

So should I get tested for this (again my OCD, but I can't help it... can I... )

Yes for your own peace of mind, wait three months. Keep busy during those three months. If it is still necessary for you to go through the test after three months, then get tested.

Even if I tell your chances are you don't have HIV, you still have to go with what you think within.

Don't think you have no strength to go through this. As Nelson Mandela said, "Your biggest fear is not that you are inadequate, your biggest fear is that you are powerful beyond measure..."

Yes you are powerful. You can do this to clear your mind. Your mind is very important. Keep it calm.

All the best to you.
Always

you cant get HIV that way. Here is the link to OCD and Anxiety, please go there form now on as this is not HIV/AIDS . Thank You.

P.S. Thank you, Mson for responding. I read these posts earlier and was discussing it with Administration and other Moderators. they have suggested I direct them to the Anxiety forums as this really has nothing to do with HIV. respect
