Anxiety Disorder, Relating Symptoms To Hiv Due To Previous Suspicion. Advise?
Hi. I am Arindam , male 31. I have an anxiety disorder. I always try to relate every symptom with hiv. Once an ayurvedic doctor had given an eldervit 12 injection for my erectile dysfunction. it was an interveinal injection, as at the time of giving the injection I did not see the doctor to unwrap the disposable syringe, thats why I has an anxiety that whether the doctor has used dysposable syringe or not?
Hi, Welcome to HCM. HIV through sharing of syringes and needles are more common with IV drug abusers and not common in clinical set up. AS you are having anxiety disorder, it is better for you to have a HIV test and the confirmation of a negative HIV test will relieve unnecessary tension. Nothing to worry. Good luck to you. Dr S.Murugan.
