question: Hi I had protected sex with a girl I met in a nightclub in Zambia, she was not a prostitute. But, from the very next day I was extremely worried that I contracted HIV. I could not sleep the whole night through for weeks. 6 months after the night I had a HIV test and it came back negative. However, its been 13 months since that night and I am now sure that I am developing symptoms of HIV. I have had a dry mouth for 3 weeks now, and have raised red bumps on the back of my tongue, and I have just noticed a few tiny red blotches on my shin. pleases help I am struggling to cvope with the anxiety
