thrush
I was just wondering how late in the stages of HIV does something like thrush occur? I came down with thrush and for some reason it wont go away. I was tested negative at 2 months, and I will soon go again for my 90 days test. But I was wondering, if thrush is something the occur early on in the HIV infection?
Oral sex is not a risk, or negligible at best. The CDC has only ever seriously investigated one case being transmitted orally and even that was not conclusive. If that was your only risk, then you are perfectly fine. As for the thrush, lots of things can cause it. Antibiotics, inhaled steroids (like for asthma or allergies), excessive caffeine intake (upsets the pH balance of the mouth), can all lead to thrush. Relax, you are fine!
It was oral sex on two different occasions and there was fingering and rubbing against eachother. I don't know if those are risks, but I know oral sex is a risk. Thanks for the info
Dont listen to that, You do not need to test at 6 Months, thats garbage. Second of all your test at two months is very very very sweet. I doubt that you would have thrush from HIV but have a negative HIV test at two months. people who are having real symptoms from HIV will have a positive test two weeks after the symptoms started. what was your risk
