Mouth ulcer a symptom?

Recently, i noticed that i had an ulcer under my tongue. I researched mouth ulcers and they said it could be because of an HIV infection. I have never had unprotected anal sex. Only unprotected oral sex. I've also read on this forum that HIV cannot be transmitted orally.

What's the cause of this ulcer.. could it just be stress?

There are many different things that can cause mouth ulcers. More than likely its not HIV related. Have a Dr. cheak that out.

And yes many experts will tell you oral sex is no risk for HIV.
