    3 months ago I was drunk and had unprotected sex with a man. I'm 22 and a male

    I was worried in case I caught something but decided to leave it till the 3 months to get checked. I recently got blood tests done and is currently waiting on the results

    Over the last week, I had developed a fever. It started with chills and a pins and needles sensation then i went from cold to being hot. I also have been itchy a lot.

    My anxiety has been so high for the week also. Could some of these signs be down to that? I'm wondering how worried should i be?

    I would put those things down to anxiety tbh. Be careful with yourself in future, when are your results?

    Stress can make you run down very quickly,you're nearly there, two more days..

    If you look for symptoms you'll always find them, or sometimes your mind will trick you into believing you have found them. It's not easy but try to be calm & relaxed until you get your results, good luck!
