Oral Thrush questions

Have some confusion on Oral Thrush

I've seen in the forum it's NOT a symptom of ARS and occurs in the later HIV/AIDS stages when it does occur?   Just wanted to verify.

If it can occur as symptom of ARS, would it be expected to stop occurring when the others symptoms stop as well and have run their course?

Finally, Oral Thrush associated with HIV would be painful, thick white "cottage cheese" type substance versus a white taste bud type appearance?

Thanks so much.
