Canker sores

by Dove 7, Jul 23, 2007 04:11PM
I have a canker sore on the inside of my lip and this is the 3rd one in about 2 months.  It is said that canker sores occur in people with suppressed immune systems such as HIV. Would this occur with more symptoms and later down the road?   Thanks

I actually wrote a thread to the doctor this morning titled "lingering symptoms..."  if youd like to read it.  I actually had an exposure and was tested up to 115 days.  But now I am getting some canker sores that I never, ever remember getting before this scare! Can you help?

Not necessarily, it can also occur due to numerous other reasons.If you ever had a risk you need to test, HIV can't be guessed.

If you tested out negative till 115 days you should be conclusively negative.

Oral sores are very common if you're anxious, I have couple of them in my mouth with an 80 days negative, don't worry :)

If you've lived your life this long without getting canker sores, you have led a remarkably lucky life.

Its coincidence, nothing more.  Your test proves beyond conclusively that you do not have HIV.
