Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 respond to you anxiety about the sexual liason. It is more difficult for a man to contract HIV from a woman than the other way around. If the liason was pretty " the ordinary stuff " chances are you are fine..this time. Do go in for your HIV test; however, it's highly doubtful that you have it. Anxiety also causes muscle aches. On the positive side of things, you can use this situation to bring good to your life Jon. Think about it, what better time to practice positive thinking and affirmations than now? I suggest that you go buy Louise Hay's I Can Do IT book and spend the next month affirming like crazy. Allow the affirmations to give you peace. Also, it sounds to me like you've learned a very important lesson about safe sex through this ordeal. This lesson may very well SAVE your life one day! As for the social anxiety, I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist or family doctor for medication. I've known many people who have gone on Paxil for social anxiety and it's made a world of difference in their lives. Rest in the knowledge that the odds are with you that you came through this one unscathed. : ) Blessings to you. Dawn M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hi Dawn... Thanks for the kind words. I know, everyone tells me the same that its much harder for a man to get hiv from a woman then the other way around. I did use protection but we also fooled around a bit orally before hand. Never the less, the element of doubt is there and won't go away. I'm learning my lesson the hard way and " hopfully " I'll get a second chance to think before I act again! You know, its funny how the mind works. Ask me anytime before this event if I would have ever slept with this girl and I would have said no way! But something got in my head that night and I did. Like I said before I gotta take the good from the bad. This really opened my eyes to my other problems and how to solve them so I get better. I've been living with them for a few years now and its time to get the help I need. Thanks again, Jon > respond to you anxiety about the sexual liason.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Jon- I apologize - I didn't read your original post, but I did see your apprehension about Paxil. I have a friend whose son was on it and he began doing bizarre behavior including lighting fires and vandalizing her car. When she took him off it, he stopped these behaviors. Have you thought about looking into natural alternatives for anxiety? I took L-Glutamine in college for depression, but I know there are others out there. I would suggest joining an alternative medicine newsgroup and requesting information. I subscribe to Alternative_Medicine_Forum-subscribe Take care, - :-) http://www.Ryze.com/go/LGHatton Telework Recruiting, Inc.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I hear what you are saying Jon. Having used protection, the chances are incredibly slim that you got HIV even if she did have it. Additionally, HIV is rarely spread via oral " situations. " I hope this at least gives you some peace before your test results come back. I agree that you are learning a little about yourself through this experience. I'm not sure if you have it already, but if not, you may want to get the book by Louise Hay " I Can Do It: How to use affirmations to change your life. " The book comes with a CD and is absolutely excellent. Blessings to you. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
