I understand.. I tested neg 84 days after possible exposure.  I was just wondering how soon a white tongue would develop assuming that hiv was actually contracted. I noticed my tongue the morning after.. but there was a tragic death in the family and I had been drinking not eating or sleeping for over a week. the white tongue could have developed from beer (other spirits ) and dehydration from the beating my body took. I weighted myself and my bodyweight was down 15 lbs.  so this may have opened the door for the white issue.  anyway tested at 12 weeks ( to the day) july 23 was the date of possible infection.  test was on October 16. neg result.

Hi, asking about symptoms when there is no risk is like opening a can of worms so we like to ask what was your risk first.
