I had unprotected oral and vaginal sex 5 weeks ago and was HIV tested about 3 weeks ago by the military (annual) which is negative. I was also tested in Febuary of 2007 and was well out of the window and was negative. So if I did get infected it was been within the last year.
Anyway one week after my possible exposure I developed white tongue/thrush/candiasis or whatver you want to call it. My tongue is generally whitish and more so toward the back of the tongue. I always hear that this doesnt happen in the beginning of HIV infection but then lately I was reading on other sites where people are claiming that these problems can happen during seroconversion. Is there really any truth in that? I didnt belive it was possible really until i read it on a few other places. I really havent had any other symptoms, no fever, swollen glands or any of that. The only thing ive been is tired, likely from the stress and anxiety.
I dont understand why some places are saying that oral problems dont come on until late stages of HIV but then others are saying it can happeen early on. Which is correct?
I guess my question really is that can this problem pop up so soon after possible exposure? If I was infected it had to have happned in the last year, would oral problems like this be able to happen that soon?
Once again my anxiety is raging again and I need some reassurance before I go back for testing again.
