dry mouth?

dry mouth?

I have had an extremely dry mouth for five weeks now. It started 3 1/2 days after possible exsposure. Can something like dry mouth show up that fast after potential  hiv infection and persist for this long. My MD tells me that was to soon to be a symptom. I have had other various "wierd" things with my body over the past few weeks but everything comes and goes. MD says its due to severe emotional stress and anxiety over the event and the wait for test results. The only thing that stays is the dry mouth. No fever yet and its been almost six weeks. Four week test was negative. Anyone have any insight. Thanks!

I know i have to wait for the test results because symptoms are never an good indicator but i was just wonderning if anyone has had dry mouth as a symptom that came on that soon and was persistent. It is extreme dry mouth and is always present. My saliva is thick and white and my tongue burns at times. It never goes away. Has anyone heard of  this?

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing.  Did your dry mouth eventually get better?

I had dry mouth for 18 month and it is improved now with parlicarpine ... a cholinergic agonist ... been better last few weeks but i still need to be on the medicine ... it does help a lot ... side effect is sweating but i don't mind that so much.
