Hey Guys,
So it is finally here....3 months post exposure this Friday. I'm horrified. Yet, I'm hopeful that I don't have it. I'm still really really scared though.
My last question is this. Ever since my exposure, about 2-3 weeks after, I developed Geographic Tongue. I've been worried all along that this may be ARS. Although many knowledgeable people have told me that ARS simply doesn't last this long. So that was a relief.
However, I'm scared that this new presence of Geographic Tongue may cause my Rapid Oral Mouth test to be positive. Obviously, a change has occurred in my body. I've never had this crack down the center of my tongue before accompanied by all this whiteness. It is scary. And now I'm terrified that this means that this change in my body is due to HIV and that my Geographic Tongue will result in a POSITIVE Rapid Oral Mouth Swab.
Is this a valid fear? Why would Geo Tongue last this long? And isn't it obvious that a change has occurred in my body if I had never once had anything like this GEO TONGUE BEFORE?
Please help me guys. THE ANXIETY leading up to this test has been unbelievable. I struggle to make it through the day. I really do. And I've been thinking about this all day and I hope people are willing to give me some answers, either the hard sad truth or perhaps good news.
