Hi, I have a question about possible thrush infection.
I have heard this is one of the symptoms of HIV, although my sexual history is by far not one I would heartily be worried about that, although I do realize it only takes once.
Anyway about a week now I have been peeling what seems like skin but may be thrush from the inner cheek of my mouth. From the pictures I have seen Thrush seems more clumpy and more whitish but I am still worried. It seems like it could be skin, sometimes its clearish.
I am wondering since I do smoke Marijuana excessively, if this could be a side effect from the toxins of smoking either causing Thrush or causing peeling in the mouth. I understand I should probably get an HIV test ASAP, I just do not have Health Insurance and would like to know if there could be other causes for this besides the most obvious.
Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
