a canker sore
I have developed a canker sore ( I am not sure it is its more of a white pimple on the side of my tongue ) yesterday and it went a way today afternoon. I searched the internet and found out that canker sore is a symptom of hiv but i tested -ve for hiv well beyond the window period so could it be a symptoom of another STD?

Nope, it still sounds like a canker sore, or apthous ulcer (the same thing.)
If you are concerned, see your doctor or dentist.

Oops sorry - forgot the other part of it.
No, canker sores aren't associated with anything to do with sex at all, including STDs.
