I’ve been completely celibate for nearly a year. I got my last full panel STD test 3 months ago and everything came back normal. However last month I went to get my birth control shot (depo) and it didn’t sting or hurt as it usually does. Also typically after receiving my birth control shot, my appetite increased and my weight increases a little. However, I’ve lost a few pounds since I received my depo shot a month ago and I’m not as hungry. Also, I’ve had 2 stomaches recently. I read that weight loss and stomach cramps are HIV symptoms..

Is it possible the nurse could’ve injected me with the wrong thing? Or maybe she used a needle on me that she previously used on a HIV positive patient? Im so paranoid right now. I don’t feel like I’m on birth control at all!

(Although I’ve been celibate for almost a year, I still am on birth control because I struggled with severe postpartum depression and anxiety after I gave birth to my first child. Im on medication to stabilize my moods. Im extremely scared of being pregnant again and I never want anymore children)
