I am a heterosexual woman living in Australia.

I recently (about a month ago) had unprotected vaginal sex 7 times with a man of unknown HIV status. He broke up with me and I started to worry about this. I went to see a sexual health nurse. I explained the circumstances of my current situation, my history and experiences with the virus (I am HIV negative) and that I suffer from anxiety. That week I'd suffered with a bout of gastro and nausea Monday and Tuesday night just after eating, and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday I was constipated. Anyway, the nurse wasn't concerned about HIV - these were her words "Because we are not in an HIV pandemic in Australia, it would be over cautious for you to be tested for HIV", so she had convinced me at this stage that an HIV test was unnecessary in this case. And I started to feel a lot better after seeing her and my constipation healed, if thats what you say!

Then about 2 weeks later, I had drinks with a friends brother - who I'd just met that day. We both got quite drunk and we ended up bottomless in the bedroom. I asked him to wear a condom, so he put one on, thrusted 4-5 times and then withdrew, and watched me self love myself. Then I blacked out. The next thing I remember is making out on his bed and him showing me that he'd taken the condom off, and then I can't remember what happened after that. Then the next thing I remember I was putting my knickers and pants back on. I don't even know if we had sex or not!!!!! So again I have been anxious about this.... Again this week, I have had diarrhea and constipation over a 3 day period - and today I feel fine.

I feel like Im going crazy! Do you think I need to worry??

There has not been a day that goes by in the past 2 1/2 years that I haven't thought about the fear of contracting HIV - my ex fiance was HIV positive and I just can't seem to get past the traumatic experience it was, the testing I had to go through, waiting the 3 months for a definitive result... It was just soooo terrifying and I'm still terrified
