Coated Tongue issue!

So back in September i had an Hiv scare.  Receptive Oral sex (i know its no risk)   anyways about a month later i got a white tongue and lump in throat feeling.   Tongue is still the same 5 months later.  Ive had 2 4th gen HIV tests (10 weeks, 6 months)  all negative.  I have a pic on my profile of my tongue.  I know many people have had this same issue, and no explanation.  Any and all help is appreciated.

I am in the same boat. Had 3 Negative tests but the white tongue persists. Had it nearly 3 months now. It came on 10 days post exposure.

What did you guys do/find out?

Omg there are so many people with this problem, the doctors have done a lot of blood test and all negative. Im so down and desperate. Mine was after having unprotected sex with a woman that weeks after I noticed her tongue was like I have mine now. I remember at the time I looked at my tongue and it was so healthy ! It was pink, almost red. and never before I had a dry mouth. I regret it so much . Pls if you find what the problem is pls share, there are a lot of people like us with the same problem. We are all down and desperate.
