Why am I so scared HIV STD?
I know i made a poor decision to have sex with someone i didnt know and even though i used a condom( dont thnk it broke) I am still scared that I will contract AIDS HIV STD omg. I have a family and my kids i dont know what to think im scared ill infect them. my wife thinks im overreacting because i yesterday i drove 30min to the clinic and was so chicken i didnt even go in, came home instead. today i decided to go and talked with a doctor and told him my situation he told me not to worry so much about it cuz i used a condom and based on my actions he told me i didnt have to taKE that hiv morning after pills treatment cuz it may fry my liver. I thought about getting a kit and testing myself but it will just come back negative because it barely happened yesterday. i dont know what to do anymore i feel like dying and i think i have an anxiety attack. Ive already drove twice to a cvs and back and didnt even buy the test kit. I feel like im alone and it gave me a new prespective on life dont fk around with people who you are sure of. the doctor said if i did get hiv i would get sick in a week but rarely 2 and he said if i dont get sick in between that time frame then im probably fine. but i can go get tested after the 2 weeks. This is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life just waiting and life is gonna be wasting away. Ive never in my life felt so hopeless I want to cry and change back the hands of time but whats been done cannot be reverse i am going to have to live with what I did and hope god or whoever sees over us gives me a second chance. I am sad, scared afraid a feeling that i never felt in my life before when i look at my kids i just want to cry and hold them tight and apologize for all the bad things ive done I cant forgive myself for this event and I dont know what else to do
Am i suppose to just wait for this HIV to take over my body i dont even think i can afford the treatment as it is. Life sucks for me big time now. I dont want to do anything anymore just want to die so sad

Hypochondria is a belief that physical symptoms are signs of a serious illness, even when there is no medical evidence to support the presence of an illness.
Causes
People with hypochondria are overly focused on their physical health. They have an unrealistic fear of having a serious disease. This disorder occurs equally in men and women.
The way people with hypochondria think about their physical symptoms can make them more likely to have this condition. As they focus on and worry about physical sensations, a cycle of symptoms and worry begins, which can be difficult to stop.
It is important to realize that people with hypochondria do not purposely create these symptoms (malingering). They are unable to control the symptoms.
People who have a history of physical or sexual abuse are more likely to have this disorder. However, this does not mean that every person with a hypochondria disorder has a history of abuse.
Symptoms
People with hypochondria are unable to control their fears and worries. They often believe any symptom or sensation is a sign of a serious illness.
They seek out reassurance from family, friends, or health care providers on a regular basis. They feel better for a short time at most, and then begin to worry about the same symptoms, or about new symptoms.
Symptoms may shift and change, and are often vague. People with hypochondria often examine their own body.

A condom can protect you from some STIs, but not all. There are some STIs passed by skin to skin contact, such as genital warts (HPV) and genital herpes. A condom does not provide 100% protection against these, so if you are in a doubt go to some doctor or also you can do a test of STD at home also, this site can help you for more information.

You had sex w/ a woman and not a paid prostitute. You used new condoms { unless if the condom had a hole}, and the doctor said no worry. Problem is it is your wife who talked to the doctor not you. My comment you are safe, it is your inner conscience that is the problem.
