Character of candida infection???teak,lizzie,vance

by 7months900, Aug 20, 2009 12:16AM
Sorry to bother you guys once again, I had never noticed white patches in my buccal mucosa before my exposure, but after my encounter it's has appeared almost 7 times and goes in 2-3 days by itself after I scrap off.
I am very puzzled and worried,as u guys said I had no way to get infected, but isn't recurrent candida feature of HIV infection??
And what about my nodes in neck it's palpated in 5 sites in neck abt 1cm to 0.5 cm.. Teak,lizzie,vance!!!! Guys I need some help..

Candida infection is an overgrowth of yeast that are already present in your mouth and can be due to a variety of causes. It can occur in people with HIV but only those who have had it for several years.

If a doctor has not diagnosed your swollen lymph nodes then you do not have them, and even if you did they cannot be used to indicate HIV status.

Move on and stop examining yourself for symptoms- you never had a risk.
