WORRIED

[babygirl616]

i have sore red ulcers in the back of my throat.  I have had these for at least 2 years now.  I went to the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics...they did not work at all!  Recently i went to a GUM clinic to ask about causes etc.  The nurse was very unhelpful and asked why i though it was an STD.  He then mentioned an HIV test which freaked me out.  He told me to go to my GP.  I am sooooo worried now.  Until recently i also had a type of white head on the side of my toungue at the back.  I used a medicated mouthwash for a couple of weeks and this dissapeared but the ulcers have not.  Please help all the info i have found about prolonged mouth ulcers point to HIV or mouth cancer but surely after so long i would have other symptoms.  If i have been exposed to HIV in my past it would be at least 10 years ago.

Where on earth do you find all this stuff that leads to HIV? HIV has no specific symptoms and they would last or come on as late as yours.  See your doctor if you have a concern.
