Could I have hiv
I am 16 and About three months ago I had oral sex with a 16 year old girl. About a week later I had trouble swallowing food and a white coating on the back of my tongue. That went away but a month later I got a bad cough and was diagnosed with bronchitis. I took antibiotics and my cough got better but it is not completely gone. My tongue has a thin white coating as well.
Oral sex is NOT a risk for HIV as human saliva contains bacteria and enzymes that render the virus inactive. (Unable to infect)
Having said that, oral sex CAN transmit other STD's and you might want to consider talking with your doctor about that possibility. Also know that some antibiotics can cause a white coating on the tongue.
You do not have HIV
