Yes, thank you.

I’m sorry, I am just extremely worried and anxious about the encounter I had 8 days ago that I mentioned in another thread. I am really hoping I am not the one of a thousand who may have become infected. I see this as a very potentially life changing situation that I am not sure I can deal with. I know the anxiety and guilt of what I’ve done is most likely the root cause, however, it is so hard to ignore all of the little things I’m feeling and resist the urge to not call my doctor.

Also, the fact that my girlfriend of 4 years is leaving the state for new a job on Monday is adding the stress. We still live together, but decided to mutually end things about two months ago. It was quite messy at first, but after talking we’ve come to the realization that we can be civil. We wanted to have one last fun weekend together, which would have possibly included sex. Friday will be 10 days post exposure. Would you suggest against not having sex or are you comfortable saying I have not been infected based off a protected one time encounter?

Sorry for the long story, but I really feel like I have nobody else to talk to at this time.
