Posted on Wed, 6 Apr 2016

Question: Hi Doctor

I have been diagonised with neurotic health anxiety with depressiveness.

I told you earlier about an incident in which i had protected sex at a massage parlour. 28 days have crossed and i got the hiv pcr report as NOT DETECTED from lister metropolis.
However, in my mind i feel that did the report get changed somehow, i know it is not possible but still in my mind i feel what if the report got changed.

Is this a type of psychosis? How can i overcome this fear

People from lister metropolis has repeated confirmed me that the report did not change and is the same, but somehow in my mind i feel what if it is changed and start panicking.
Is this a type of psychosis?

Brief Answer:
it is anxiety , not psychosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome back for personal consultation to me.

Your problem not psychosis. It is illness anxiety. When person feels that he/she has some illness which is still not detected and because of that person feels uncomfortable.

It is clear from report that you are absolutely fine. And there are no other physical symptoms.

if you can believe my words and control your thoughts that is fine. Or you can else go to other laboratory for testing and reassure yourself.

Take care. feel free to discuss further.

Hi doctor

I dont have any physical symptoms. This is the second lab. I did another kind of HIV test(antigen and antibody combo) at SRL ranbaxy and it came non reactive.

Hence I would take your word that it is my anxiety and relax

Brief Answer:
then do not go for third lab

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for clarification. You have already done test twice. So it is absolutely conformed that there is no problem. Do not go for third lab as it will increase your anxiety rather than relieving it.

Hope you can gradually control and discard these thoughts on your own and remain relax.

If you cannot, no need to worry. Consulting psychiatrist personally and taking anti anxiety medicines with psychotherapy will help.

All the best.

Thank you very much doctor. The lab has also confirmed that the report belongs to me only and that i am the only person who took that test on that lab last week and the virus is NOT DETECTED as mentioned in the report. So everything is clarified now.
