Early symtoms? Mouth?
Almost four weeks ago I engaged in oral sex with a stripper (recieving and giving). For the past couple of weeks my mouth keeps getting irritated near my gums and tonight the tatsebuds on the front sides of my tongue are irritated. I also have a white film on my tongue that I can scrape off, is this oral thrush? Does this sound like HIV? I have not had any flu symptoms. Shuld I be worried about conracting HIV from this exposure? I'm getting blood labs back on wed., but I'm freaking out over here. Help!
You didn't have a risk and no it doesn't sound as though you have oral thrush. Oral thrush is not HIV specific. Anyone can get oral thrush at anytime and oral thrush has to be diagnosed by a doctor or dentist.
I am not the expert here but on this forum and on the expert forum you are going to read that oral is very very low risk. 1/10000 if i recall.
