What does hiv tongue look like?
I think there may be very very very slight whiteness on the side of my tongue but not sure if it's my mind seeing things that aren't there.
And most people with HIV don't get OHL or Thrush. Some do, but like I said neither are HIV specific.
Okay thank you. Sorry to be a pain. I have OCD about worrying about being ill.
There are NO specific symptoms of ones tongue or anything else that is only related to HIV and no other disease or illness.
I can't use that on here I've checked on google images no real similarity between my tongue and the ones on there. BTW if I eat brown chocolate the very faint if at all whiteness goes.
When I first noticed this 20-22nd December I had always used a condom. 23rd December unprotected oral. 7th January HIV negative. In the morning usually my tongue is fine late night it maybe has an incredibly slight whiteness on the right edge. There is a history of mucky tongues in my family i.e food bits clinging on and leaving a layer of filth on the tongue I myself have had this as long as I can remember.
