Erythematous Candidiasis

Okay now im extremely worried..

Could erythematous candidiasis possibly occur during ARS? (red spots on tounge due to loss of papallae)
I was googling images and my tounge has spots like:

just not as many spots..

Yes I know the only  way to diagnose HIV is through a test but I am only 3 weeks from my exposure risk -- a tattoo (and i went for an antibody test already.. although i don't know how accurate it would be at this time..)

CDC knows of no instances of HIV transmission through tattooing or body piercing.

Comparing your mouth to pictures on the internet is a fools game. You aren't qualified to be your own doctor.
