Suggest Treatment For Anxiety

Posted on Fri, 21 Nov 2014
Question: Hi,
I have anxiety, I am a very anxious person. So today I thought of something that made me terrified. About 15 years ago I had anal sex with a guy for like 2 minutes, it was my first time and I was naive and stupid.
He only had little precum, but finished oustide, so he didn't ejaculate inside, because it was my first time I had very little blood on surface of anus I realized after it happened.

A year after that incidence I made an HIV test and thanks God was negative. Even after it was found negative, I suffered for about 10 years from anxiety that it may have been false negative.

However, I never made any Hapetitus C test. I realized now that since I bleeded little bit, maybe his precum has the virus, and I read that symptoms doesn't show for 15 to 20 years. I am scared. But during these 15 years I had liver functions tested when I had urine infections in the past, last one about a year ago, and it was normal. Would such test would have showed if there is any effect of HCV after this period ? also I had hapetitus B vaccination when I was young, would that lower chances ?

what are the chances ? please help i am scared. and i know it's easy to go and have a test , but not for me, i would have a lot of anxiety from just doing test , please help

thanks
