You have been repeatedly reassured about HIV, hair loss, and HIV testing on both this and the HIV community forum. Mouth sores can sometimes occur in advanced AIDS but not as a symptom of early HIV ifnection. There remains no medical need for HIV testing, but feel free to do it as often as you like.

The primary health need reflected in this and your other posts is psychological.  Consider seeking professional assessment to help judge why you have such difficulty accepting the truth -- after hearing it repeatedly -- about HIV risks, hair loss, and the like.  I suggest it out of compassion, not criticism.

There will be no further comments or discussion on this thread.
