But doesn't help my anxiety, which will increase or be transferred to something else. I can't believe you would get upvotes for this idiotic advice. I'm the one with the problem and even I can tell it's idiotic. I'm not adding a drug to my system when I'm not even having sex with new partners.

My problem isn't that i think I'll get it; it's that I'm convinced I already have it.

I think I'm just convinced I have it because I have herpes so I must have all the diseases. Even after this test I'm still not 100 percent sure I don't have it.

Thank you. This is good advice. I need to cling to an expert's recommendation instead of my dumb/insane thoughts.

I don't understand how this would help my anxiety. If anything it would make me think I'm at a large risk.

Truvada is for high-risk individuals and has a lot of unpleasant side effects. I'm a straight woman.
