Answer 1

Because you have this fear of contracting it.
I have a fear of having an STD and go to my doctors, different ones so they don't start thinking im a sex freak, every 6 months because i'm afraid of contracting something even though I have been with my partner for 2 years now.

Hi.
It sounds like you might be a Hypochondriac.--(chronic abnormal anxiety concerning the state of one's health, even in the absence of any evidence of disease on medicalexamination).

Tips for hypochondria:


1. Keeping a journal describing what led to the anxiety attacks or panic

2. Talking with friends or family members, and taking a different perspective on the symptoms

3. Tracking the triggering factors of anxiety, and avoiding them (e.g. self-diagnosis, reading about symptoms)

4. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and positive outlook. A good tip is to follow the PEAS tool sometimes used to combat depression: Pleasure, Exercise, Achievement and Socialising - try to add an aspect of each to daily activities.

5. Exercise is especially important.

6. Taking Magnesium pills help against the panic attacks and help suppress them.

7. Make sure sufficient sleep is attained every night.

Answer 3

Why don't you invite your husband to take a test and if that comes back negative and you are are indeed 100% faithful, you have nothing to worry about. I assume you have to pay for each test you take (no NHS in America) so it seems you are throwing money away because of an irrational paranoid fear.

Answer 6

Fear means you believe in something. You give it power. As long as you fear HIV, you will eventually find a way to manfiest it. Get counseling for your fears.

Answer 7

Two issues emerge. You don't trust your husband and you like to be anxious.

If you don't trust him to be faithful, why would you continue to have sex with him?

Answer 8

well........if you are having these tests often,you must suspect your husband of slipping out......if so,confront him,or hire a private-eye.......OR........take your chances of catching hiv or herpes.......good luck.............
