Hi all,

Some of you might know me. I had sex on Apr. 15. After that I got every HIV symptom including night sweats white patches, muscle pains, headache, smollen lymph nodes,...etc. Also YELLOW TONGUE.

I got:
2 weeks HIV antibody negative
25 days RT-PCR-HIV negative
7 weeks HIV rapid negative
10 weeks HIV antiboyd negative

Now, Tomorrow I am waiting my 13 weeks HIV antiboyd.

I am really worried. And worst part is I have still that YELLOW TONGUE for 3 months. I am really really healthy man. Do u have any comments on my tests and YELLOW TONGUE???

Please help me.

With your NEG results out to 10 weeks, you should really expect another NEG result tomorrow despite your symptoms. Have faith...

Yellow tongue or yellow tongue coating?  There's a difference, you know.  10 weeks negative is very good so don't lose sleep over it.

good luck.  hope everything works out fine for you :)

Have you thought about going to a dentist to check out your tongue/gums? It could be thrush or any number of things - none of which indicate HIV. I'm with everyone else, thinking that your test results are once again going to be absolutely fine. BUT...your tongue is still coated in something and you probably should get that checked out regardless, no?

Hi all and thanks all.

If I brush my TONGUE it disappear for a while. then come back again after 1-2 hours. Especially, it is much in the morning. I don't smoke.

Does anyone know YELLOW TONGUE is ARS?????

I think it is YELLOW COATING. How YELLOW tongeue and YELLOW TONGUE coating differs???

I went to 3 doctors for last 3 months. I got every every test all of the doctors said your tongue is PERFECT. They didn't find anything. I got many many X-rays, blood, bio tests all saying that I am good.

Is YELLOW TONGUE is related to HIV ARS or related to any other STDs like syphils???? Please tell me.

Okay look - I googled around and found this site (kinda dated but I doubt symptoms have changed and it seems really comprehensive). I skimmed it and didn't see anything about YELLOW TONGUE, but please do go over it closely.

Symptoms or lack of symptoms is no way, a way to diagnose HIV. HIV has no specific symptoms.

Thanks, I'm aware that you can't diagnose HIV via symptoms...but he asked about HIV -or- STD and yellow tongue doesn't show up on any of the listing of STD symptoms there. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I have weird symptoms too - some of the same ones you have.  I had first test 2 days ago at 10 wks - it was negative..  the symptoms are bugging me a lot.... only thing I know to do is get another test at 13 weeks.  At some point, I will need to get these symptoms looked at.  I just don't know if the 13 week comes back neg what these symptoms could mean then?  This is very uneasing like how you are feeling.

by boken, Jul 26, 2007 09:34PM
