spotty tongue question!

spotty tongue question!

I just noticed that my throat is a little red and my tongue looks like it is peeling a little in some spots, leaving tiny red areas.  It doesnt hurt.  It has been 11 months since I had an unprotected incident that I just thought of.  Can this be a symptom of HIV?   Is it too late or too early for symptoms to appear?  Someone please help!!....

You can not get a diagnoses of your tongue on the internet. If you have had a possible exposure the only way to know your status is by testing. You can test at any time and get a conclusive result.

If you received a negative result at 3.5 months then you are conclusively negative. If you have a concern about your tongue see your doctor or dentist.

I am very new here and just read on the internet that sometimes it is a good idea to test out to 6 months....thats why it scares me

I did actually have a test about 3.5 months after my exposure....but Im wondering if it didnt detect it.  Could it be from brushing my tongue too hard?!

You do not need to test out to 6 months. 3 months is conclusive.
