We had sex 8.5 weeks ago – did use a condom but only after a couple of minutes without putting it on.

I had a mild cold after 4 weeks. And I think a couple of mild headaches. I then had an usual odourless discharge at 7.5 weeks for a couple of days with severe itching. This then disappeared after a couple of days.

I also had a couple of dizzy spells and foggy head around week 7 which I put down to Hayfever symptoms and tiredness which I again put down to Hayfever/Hayfever tablets.

I have since been feeling extremely anxious, nauseous and have lost my appetite. I cannot stop thinking that I may have contracted HIV from that exposure.

He suggests he has no infection of any sort but I do not trust this as he seems quite aloof about it and not worried about me having any symptoms.

I have sent off a home test kit for chlamydia and gonnhorea and did the BioSure test yesterday at 8 wks 3 days.

The biosure result came back negative. I am now panicking that there may have been a problem with the test as I struggled to get enough blood from the lancet and had to spend 5-10 minutes getting enough in the test. Would this have affected the results?? The control line appeared after just a few minutes.

I am sick with worry having panic attacks and cannot stop thinking of the worst. Please help me.
