Thrush is not HIV specific. Anyone at any time, at any age can get thrush.

would thrush present itself only few weeks after infection? i read on net thrush is sign of developed hiv/aids, is this true?

right ok, sex was with married woman with 3 children and partner of 20 years.  I have no symptoms atall bar this and feel generally extremely well.  My tongue possibly has always been this way, its just ive never really lookd as closely as i am now.  would hiv show after 3.5 weeks this way?? ive just taken pic of tongue and looking at it, it looks fairly normal, but will try posting it later.  I have no bad breath, no scraping possible as its that thin, its not geographical ie looking like patches etc and is only on the top of tongue.  hoping its just me and my paranoia as my itching instantly stopped after talking to dr and him reassuring me it was nothing, it literally stopped straight away!! im very anxious!! thanks
