Hairy Leukoplakia
Hey,
I have had two white ridges going down the sides of my tongue for about a month now. I just had a HIV test done and it came back negative. It has been about 3 months since I could have had any possibility of coming into contact with HIV. Is it possible for a person to show signs of OHL and get a neg result on a HIV test or does it usually only occur later in HIV disease?
Thanks!
