Here is the back story. I had some white spots on my cheeks and tongue. I googled and of course HIV/AIDS. Clearly I'm paranoid beyond belief. I never had unprotected sex until my current GF. She is STD free she got tested before we started having unprotected sex. In the past I would say Nov 2007 I did have sexual intercourse with some questionable woman, I used a condom it didn't break. The scary part, one woman I noticed some blood after on the condom, condom did not break i was extremely careful removing it.
As I did more googling i got more nervous. i have spots on the side of my tongue it says oral hairy leukoplakia or thrush are signs of HIV. I was thinking back and have been biting my cheeks and picking at them since as far back as 2004 and for sure since 2006. I noticed that i bite my tongue also, This led me to believe i have oral frictional hyperkeratosis. I just stopped biting tongue and cheek and picking. Its now been 10 days cheeks and tongue are w/o a doubt are getting better. I read it takes 1-3 weeks maybe more to heal.
Today I google again i see some candida home test spit in water when you first wake up. if your saliva gets stringy and sinks to bottom you have thrush. guess what thats what my saliva did. I also read eating sugars/bread can cause this. I am a bread lover I eat it daily. its bread and pasta or atleaast 1 daily for me. I also breathe out my mouth, I think I sleep w/ my mouth open since wake up with dry mouth and whiteness in the AM. When I brush its mostly gone. I also prob chew a lil in my sleep and I have a habit of cracking my jaw.
I am just so paranoid do I have HIV. Of what I read these oral diseases are signs of full blown HIV. I am healthy feel fine and active.
