My OCD is killing me, need help

My ocs is killing me, I have been thinking about that I have contracted HIV for good 8 days in a row, constant obession/intrusive thoughts 24/7. The deal is I had unprotected sex with a trans woman 4-5 years ago and contracted chlamydia, which I got treated in a sexual health clinic. I dont remember fully if I had flu like symptoms at all, as far as I know someone who got infected with HIV has chornic diarrhea or a rash and I cant remember having them. The trans girl said she got tested 4 times and all came negative and she works in the NHS, so I doubt she would lie to me.

These thoughts are killing me, im so anxious to make an appointment with my GP and ask for a HIV test, cause in my country HIV is heavily stigmatized as homophobia is widespread.

I had some tests done after I contracted initial chlamydia for HIV, but might had been to early to show anything, I cant remember after how many days I got tested for it. I would had tasted again, but I was already relapsing schizophrenia wise.

Can someone calm me down? I mean if I had had contracted HIV, wouldnt I have had some serious symptoms for a week or two? Cause i dont remember having any of them like enlarged lymph nodes, rash and others. I am so afraid to get tested in my home country, also I would need to pay it.

This thought is stopping me from living, I mean this OCD…

Next time they do blood work you can ask to be also tested for HIV. The doc just has to tick the box on the blood work request form.

In my country it has to be done like seperately. I might go in for lile a regular bloodtest and ask for a HIV test, 20€ though. But im still worried, might be 2+ weeks until i can see my doc :frowning: i have been obsessing very hard recently
