Could be an HIV symptom but one can only get HIV symptoms if acquired HIV but you never acquired it , remember ?

so are canker sores common as an early symptom of HIV infection ? Is it as common as fever?

problem is.....  canker sores are common...  common from drinking high acid juices like orange juice, or eating candy....  common from stress.... common from lack of sleep.....   .... common from AIDS (the transition from HIV to AIDS) and sometimes with ARS.....    so canker sores are just plain common

My storry....   Broken condom with a pro....   3 days latter, after tons of stress mind you, hardly any sleep, and after eating high acid vitamins at night....   the next morning BOOM I had thrush like I have never had before...

when I saw that in the mirror...  I really do not think I have ever felt that much fear before in my life. I could hardly breathe....   At the time I did not know ARS is not supposed to have an onset that early.  

Any how, I tested negative PCR twice, so apparently I am home free.

Although I will test again at 14 weeks

Remember, always wear a jimmy
