White tongue-To Teak

[coz80]

Is white furry tongue or may be thrush is a primary symptom of hiv infection?
What is the percentage?
Have you seen this in new hiv infections??

you need some counseling for your HIV fears and anxieties. Please, stop the fears, and get to the level of real life. Stress causes many thing such as white tongue, dry mouth, etc....I had them all. I had all the symptoms, from fever, to white tongue, to diarrhea, muscle aching, etc...symptoms don't mean anything, if you're not sure of your HIV status, take a 3 month hiv test.

white tongue is cause by anxiety, depression and stress, its not an HIV symptoms, its more when you develop in Aids stages, when your immune system is really supress and can't fight HIV any more.

I have seen a graph where I have seen that during ARS also the CD4 cells drops down to a level and then fights back.
This symptom can also be there during this LOW CD4 stage???

It is the same thing, it's a duo test which detects the p24 antigen and antibodies simultaneously, you need to understand that you don't have HIV and you've got the best test that money van buy.

Please seek mental help, HIV is not your problem.

Thanks Mike,
Actually I do live in Mumbai but taken the test in Dr lal pathlabs Delhi.
Test was HIV 1 / HIV 2 ANTIBODY & p 24 ANTIGEN COMBO TEST .
what is the diff. between duo and combo test.
see below
"Dear Enquirer,
HIV Duo test gives reliable results between two to six weeks of exposure as it detects the p24 antigen which is present during that period. This test gives an indication of the presence of the virus, it needs to be confirmed by antibody tests after three months."


11 weeks was not a good time??

BTW, at 6 week and + , generation of tests doesn't matter.
