Thrush on the tongue

I read that thrush appears only in the late stages of HIV or better said in the AIDS stages. Is that correct?  Please let me know.

was discussing with the doctor 1 weeks ago when he told me that both RNA and antibody are negative. He said that if I have this throat burning, spots on the roof of my mouth would have been signs of HIV it would have shown on the test.

It is just so annoying that this is not going away - i gargled with salt water for a week now, drunk tea with lemon and honey - absolutely no change - still red and still burning....same on my tongue.

I am testing again in a month v=but still there is no way that i can leave my throat burning like this for another month. I am seeing my doctor on Wednesday. Tongue and throat is burning down my esophagus and into my lungs...

Well I can only hope that everyone had a great New Years Eve.
I need a little bit of advise regarding my situation and would really appreciate your time on this.

It's been 6 weeks since my contact. That is oral contact unprotected with a prostitute. Yes, I know everyone is telling me that there is no risk. Thank you.

Still the following symptoms are persistent:

RED testicles and head of the penis (cold at touch) (4 weeks now) They do feel however like they are burning and I do have pain in the tip of my penis with a burning feeling that is taking over my testicles all the way to my anus.

ONE TIME last week a bumpy rash on my anus for 2 days.  faded on the third.

RED and dry, semi itchy throat (4 weeks now)

burning tongue (4 weeks now)

red spot on the roof of my mouth that has been there for 3 weeks now and slowly fading away

redness on my face and a burning feeling (cheeks and forehead)

redness on my knuckles

random pink spots appearing and disappearing on and off for 5-6 hours
hands, forearms, neck

I also feel like I am having a hard time getting an erection

yes - I lost 15lb for the past month - I am just not hungry - I think that the burning on my tongue does not help either.

On and off diareea - sometimes 4 days in a row



Stinging feeling right under Adam's Apple very randomly - STINGING, not normal pain - sometimes followed by a red patch in the area - about 4-5 mm long.

I tested for HIV after 24 days and it came negative. Doctor said it is still early but for all the symptoms I had it would normally show positive IF the symptoms were related to this.

OK, so maybe it is not HIV. Both forum doctors said it is not even an std related. Can someone tell me please what could it be ??!!  As much as I agree the face redness, nuckles and hands could be related to stress I sincerely am having a hard time that this CONTINUOUS redness on my genital area with pain at times (not all the time) could be stress related...

I am 6 weeks from contact now and I know that doctor H said 6 weeks is good enough. I would like to wait another 2 weeks to retake the test..



By the way I took the maalox and the banadril (pills though).  I had a pretty strange diareea from one of them around 5 hours after I took them.... No stomachake, just a need to go to the bathroom and then....


Any constructive comments would help...
