Accepted Answer

: The data you provided is consistent with you not getting HIV from the exposure 10 months ago. There is no need to repeat the test. These tests do not exclude other STDs. If you have symptoms you should see a doctor for an in-person evaluation for other health issues.

Accepted Answer

: For complete evaluation I recommend consulting both an oral surgeon and a specialist in infectious disease. I think your description matches a condition called oral hairy leukoplakia which is triggered by EBV or HIV(although your hiv testing is encouraging) Let the specialists give you the best advice. You may not need any specific treatment, only symptomatic treatment.

Accepted Answer

HIV diagnosis: I understand your concern, but you were at low risk:  the average chance of transmission during one episode of unprotected vaginal sex with an infected woman averages 1 in 2,500. Your test results prove you do not have HIV, regardless of symptoms; there are no exceptions. All your tests beyond 6-8 weeks were unnecessary. Work with your doc on other causes, but please stop worrying about HIV.

Accepted Answer

HIV unlikely: If the tests were done correctly, your symptoms are highly unlikely to be due to HIV. It would be prudent to see a doctor for an assessment of your general health.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Wish you good health!
