Oral Thrush

[phone12345]

Quick question about oral thrush. Does it normally hurt or is it painful in any way? I have white stuff all over my tongue and don't know if it is thrush or not.

Thank you

I had unprotected sex in SE Asia. After 2 weeks my lymph nodes in neck were swollen and I had sore throat and felt pressure in my ears and coughs. Then I got a bit better (two weeks) then I felt burn/itch sensations in my skin (hands, trunk) for few days then I have developed white/yellow coating and also thrush from middle to back of my tongue which is not painful. I am very worried if I these symptoms are from HIV?

i think the fact that you licked some girls chili ring caused the thrush-not hiv.

You were never at risk of contracting HIV.

I am a 26 year old male, I have not had many past sexual partners (only 2 women). About 6 - 7 weeks ago I was traveling for business, I had some time to kill before my last appointment of the day. I stopped in at a run-down massage parlor. I kind of knew of the practices that go on here due to the way the masseuse was dressed, but I proceeded anyways. Long story short, the lady ended up performing a hand job on me, after a few minutes I did not ejaculate, so she climbed onto the bench that I was laying on and stuck her butt in my face. To this day, I still don't know why I did it, I know its gross, but I ended up licking her anus for about 1 or 2 minutes. She was very clean down there btw, and there was definitely no blood present. This is very out of the norm for me, however I did it, and there is no going back.

Immediately after I left, I rushed to the nearest drug store and purchased some anti-bacterial mouth wash and gargled it for a minute or two.

It is now 6 or 7 weeks later and I have developed thrush on my tongue. This was diagnosed by a doctor at the nearest Urgent Care. He gave me some mouth-wash medicine called Nystatin. This is helping the thrush go away very quickly, it is now almost gone.

My question is... Is this a coincidence, or is it possible that I contracted HIV or AIDS from this? Based on my web browsing, it seems that thrush is common in HIV victims, newborn babies, and older adults. As I mentioned I am a 26 year old male, who is in very good physical shape, and eat pretty decent, so I don't really fit in with any of that criteria.

What are the chances that I have contracted HIV from this? I know the best solution here is to get an HIV test, although I am waiting until 2 months has gone by so I can get more accurate results. I will probably get tested in a week or two.

Thank you for not judging, I would appreciate professional opinions on the matter. Thank you.

It's not an HIV concern.

Hi , about three years ago i had sex with a girl from work and didnt think much of it. I barely knew her and i am a huuuuge hypochondriac so i immedietly thought .. what if she has hiv? i went to the doctor about 3 months after and got tested and it was negative. then i went again about 3 months later and again about 3 months after that. All of the tests were negative for HIV but every time something unusuall happens to my body i immedietly start thinking oh whats if its HIV? and i worry myself sick. i smoke and i usued to dip tobacco and ive quit dipping but still smoke. I developed a tiny white little spot on the top center of my tongue and it wasn't painfull unluess i messed with it or sucked on my tongue. It took about 2 weeks for the little white strip to go away and i didnt think anything of it. A month after that the little strip came back in the same spot. Its not like its spreading or anything i just dont know what is causing it.
