Thrush and testing
I have had many symptoms that could be related to ARS. One of them is thrush.
It is a white-yellowish coating on my tongue, my tongue also has like red bumps at the back of my tongue, scalloped edges and like canker sores in the edges back deeper inside. I find this really scary!
Has anyone seen anything like that before? Is that an ARS symptom?
My other question is. Have you ever seen or have known about a 28 day combo test (4th generation) negative result changing when restesting in the following weeks/months?
Thank you very much for your help and attention.

Hi maash
Well, my doctor gave me some medicine for it. Antifungal and antiviral for herpes. He agrees there is fungus and that my tongue is swollen. I never had my mouth like that before...
My exposure was kissing an older gay man, almost sure to be HIV+ and with sores in my mouth during the deep kiss. I know most people on the internet will say it's not risk or net zero risk but with all the symptoms I have had I am very worried.
I have had diarrhea, sore throat with a white dot, weight loss (6kg), body pain, fatigue, headaches, night sweats, etc, etc.
I want to believe I had no risk but I don't know anything about this man's mouth, if he had recent dental work or blood.
Do you know or have data about combo tests negative at 4 weeks changing later?
Thanks

1) white-yellowish coating on my tongue - Its not Thrush ( Stop googling to get images)
2)my tongue also has like red bumps at the back of my tongue - Not only you everyone will have - Thats called TASTEBUDS
3) scalloped edges and like canker sores in the edges back deeper inside - Everyone having this , i really dont know what it was, it is there always in our body , because few years ago , i thought it was cancer and went to doctor,
What was your exposure first? 28 Combo is very much assuring test.
