Canker sores

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

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.

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 :)

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.

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?
