Burning mouth

Since march I have had a burning mouth and white tongue which the doctor said was thrush but a sample came back negative.

I still have the burning sensation abd white tongue - is this a sign of HIV?

I tested negative after 16 weeks of what I thought was a needkestick injury.

In that tine I had been to a few gay cottages but hadn't had sex, only wankibg, but worried someone could have stabbed me with a needle.

In late December my throat was tight, a lump appeared on my lower neck for five days, one say my whole body felt numb and tingly  and a lump appeared on the roof of my mouth that went after a week or so, my tongue also got two swollen bumps on it in the centre.

Are these HIV symptoms? Should I retest?

Is burning mouth syndrome a symptom of HIV?

Or am I in the clear 100%?

What could the white tongue be from? I've received no real answers from my doctor, which makes me even more anxious!

My chin tingled as well as the burning mouth. Is this peripheral neuropathy?
