Geographic tongue, how quick?

[Fool99]

I exposed myself a month ago (performed fellatio) and within like.. a day or two I noticed I had developed "geographic tongue".  Would that be a symptom of HIV infection so close to exposure?  I still have it (along with a lump in my throat that won't seem to go away).

themost stressful thing is that you continue to think about it whch doesnt help the immune system as i read....also, the whole not geting a sufficient amount of sleep might be a factor for this...like i mentoned b4..i tend to not sleep more then 5hrs everynight...was times during the summer where i cudnt sleep more then 4hrs....ive been gettn at least 5hrs now whch still isnt gd...the allegies during the winter might be a concern as with this..i appreciate your time i answering my post....tak care

If she said it's normal, then it is in fact normal.  Why in the world would you think that people posting on an internet site that cannot even see your tongue would have anything to say about it that could be more informed or accurate than what your doctor already told you??  And why would you call it geographic tongue if your doctor already told you it is fine.  Trust your doctor, sheesh.  You don't have HIV!!

Thanks for the comforting words.  I did see my doctor about my tongue.. but she said "it looks normal to me".

Your act of engaging in oral sex is not going to result in transmission of HIV.  Also, symptoms are never a way to determine if you have HIV.  There are NO specific symptoms of HIV.  If something is wrong with your tongue then go see your doctor.  It has nothing to do with HIV.
