Recurring (multiple) canker sores

Recurring (multiple) canker sores

I was with a sex worker 4 1/2 weeks ago.  Had protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex (giving and getting) with the sex worker.  Anyway, 4-5 days after this took place I started getting some canker sores on the inside of my lips.  I have always gotten canker sores in the past so this was not a big shock to me at all.  But then about 2 1/2 weeks after being with the sex worker I started getting more canker sores.  I also got canker sores in the back of my throat which hurt some.  The canker wores would go away and come back 3-5 days later, sometimes in the same sports.  

I got tested (HIV antibody rapid) at 25 days and 30 days from the HIV expsore date and the tests were negative.  I plan to go back for more resting at 8 weeks and 3 months.

My question is, are multiple canker sores, specifically recurring canker sores, symptoms of early stages of HIV?  I ask because even though I have had canker sores in the past, now I am getting it over and over for the past 3-4 weeks.

I don't think I have had any other symptoms except for maybe a sore throat (which could have been caused by the canker sores).

Thank you in advance for answering my question.

You never had an exposure.

Even though it is highly unlikely that my actions put me at risk for HIV, can you or anyone else still answer my specific question: are multiple canker sores, specifically recurring canker sores, symptoms of early stages of HIV?  I ask because even though I have had canker sores in the past, now I am getting it over and over for the past 3-4 weeks since my last exposure.

Thanks in advance! :-)

Can anyone answer my question?  Is multiple recurring canker sores a symptom of the early stages of HIV or are they symptoms of later stages of HIV?  Thank you very much!

Your stress may be causing the canker sores.
