White tongue

Can white tongue appear a couple of weeks after hiv exposure. I have a slightly white tongue but does not seem to scrape off. It is slightly white in front and really white on the far back of my tongue.  I was tested at six weeks and was negative but still worried.

You can only know your status by testing at the correct time

Has nothing to do with HIV based on your risk. Also on the very back of the tongue it is some what white in most people, this is normal. Stress causes tongue symptoms as well.

You do not have HIV

I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal.  I tested at dr's at six weeks then tested at home twice with oraquick oral tests where you swab your gum's at 52 day's and 59 which were both negative.

You wont get any symptoms because you nver had any risk.

What was your risk?  A 6 week test is a good indacator of your status but only 100% at 3 months. Your tongue symptoms mean nothing
