Scared I caught GH-Please help
Trigger warning-Assault I am 22F. Today is May 4th, and on April 17th I was brutally assaulted. This post isn’t about the assault itself, as I am dealing with that on my own. I invited a friend over to catch up and when I made it clear to him it was only for that, he wouldn’t take no for an answer and aggressively removed my clothes and penetrated me in both holes as hard as he could. It was incredibly traumatizing and I couldn’t find him off because he is a very strong guy. After a while I just laid there and it felt like I left my body. Like I said, I am dealing with that on my own and this post isn’t about the assault itself. I am very sexually cautious, and my body count is only 5 because I only sleep with boyfriends. The main reason why I’m so cautious is because I’m terrified of catching something. This guy didn’t use protection when he did this to me. A couple days after it happened, I went to planned parenthood and told them what happened and they tested me for the basic stds. I came back clean. After another week, I started to feel a tingly/burning sensation in my vag, ass, and upper thighs. I looked this up and the first thing that came up was genital herpes. I was terrified and I have really bad health anxiety, so I started freaking out. These symptoms have been going on a week now. I feel like I have little razor cuts on my vag and in my thighs, and I keep getting a tingly sensation that goes away within seconds but keeps coming back. I also feel this tingly sensation around my eyes and in my lips. I also have a little bit of itching and burning, esp in my thighs. I had leg pain that lasted one day. I have felt really fatigued for the past 3 days, and this morning I woke up with a really swollen neck. (I lift weights and lifted heavier then usual yesterday so it could be from that) of course these are all symptoms I have read, so I don’t know if my mind is playing tricks on me or if I’m actually having these symptoms. There are no lesions or blisters, and I went back to planned parenthood and she said she believes that if I had GH then I would’ve gotten blisters already. I read some people say they experience predrome for months before an OB, but some people said it only lasts 2 days at most. I’m truly terrified and I’m driving myself crazy everyday. Has anybody had an similar experience or has any advice?
