It might be possible because when we are stressed we don't eat properly also stress hormones can weaken immune system. You must see a doctor to address your concern, it's not possible to diagnose you from an internet website.
You don't have an HIV concern, you were never at risk.

Not a risk for HIV transmission. Tattoo needles can't transmit the virus. No one has been ever documented to acquire HIV in this manner.
Your symptoms don't relate to HIV, please see a doctor for them. You don't need to test.

Do you think I developed Candida overgrowth from stressing too much ?
I too thought i had candida over growth till i was told by two doctors i dont. A white tongue isnt candida, candida is different and can only be diagnosed by a doctor. Plus candida is seen in late stage hiv , like after 8 to 10 years. Even if you did have candida, yes stress can cause candida overgrowth sometimes. See a doctor, im sure he ll tell you that you dont have candida. Even if you did, its not hiv , you didnt have an exposure
