Hey there, this was apart of my illness theme about 5 years ago when I first had a bout of OCD. I remember I was so avoidant and scared to see videos regarding illnesses especially HIV and even avoided one of my favorite movies called Gia. Not sure exactly what your theme is but if it’s centered around contracting HIV, then you may see different illness triggers surrounding illness whether it be on tik tok, insta, etc. if you are seeing a therapist they may recommend using ERP centered around HIV so you can face your fears. I know right now it feels so scary and real, but sit through it, embrace uncertainty, resist compulsions and go on about your day!! You’ve got this!!

I’m anxious about HIV. What if I get it? That’s a scary thought to me. And then I’m scared/worried about giving it to others, not knowing if I have it, etc.
