Have you gone to a doctor and told him your concerns, because with protected insertive and oral you are fine. And the 2 unprotected if you had not tested after then if you test now it would be conclusive.

Loose stools can be a result of a lot of things, like lactose intolerance as your doctor said. Can people with HIV get loose stools? Yes, but so can people that are HIV negative. Nerves can cause them, a poor diet also. If you had unprtected vaginal sex two years ago, i would test, because anytime you place yourself at risk you should test. At this point,...as Gman said, they would be conclusive at this point. I don't recommend testing because I think loose stools mean you have HIV, so don't go panicking. But, just because when placed at risk....you should test. Even if you DON"T have symptoms.

Best of luck.

When suffering from anxiety the body pumps blood towards the stomach area which causes loose stools.
