Some lingering symptoms

I noticed when I wake up in the morning my tongue seems a little whiter than usual and kinda chalky.  Throughout the day depending on what I eat or drink, it seems to go back to normal color.  I notice that some tastebuds are more prominant and maybe "thicker" in some areas.  Sometimes I will also feel a sharp pain on the right side of my neck and I keep checking to see if my glands are swollen but I dont think they are. If I had a test done about 3 months after my exposure (which was last summer) could I have just forgotten about my tongue problem as being HIV-related?

Does my tongue problem sound like anything due to HIV?
Thanks

Geographic tongue is not associated with hiv or any other disease.

I don't see any thing abnormal with your tongue however only a doctor can diagnose such things.
