Question 1

What the difference between oral thrush and hairy leukoplakia and which one is associated with hiv. is white the same as oral thrust and is it associated with hiv. neg hiv insti 3 generation at 5 months but positive for ebv?

Accepted Answer

Very different (but look very similar). Oral leukoplakia is a pre-malignant process on the tongue that is easy to confuse with oral thrush.  Oral HAIRY leukoplakia is a benign lesion of the tongue often associated with EBV infection and HIV infection.  Oral thrush is a yeast infection - looks similar to the other 2 but quite different.

See an Infectious Diseases doctor (or Oral Surgeon)

Question 2

If someone caught hiv how long until it can cause oral thrush?

Accepted Answer

There are varying degrees of immune dysfunction with HIV and there are varying levels of exposure to agents that cause opportunistic infections (i.e. infections that occur when one's immune system is not functioning normally).   These variable factors will contribute to the time it takes to develop thrush.

Question 3

Is oral thrush in hiv an early symptom stage or later symptom stage?

Accepted Answer

Usually a sign of late infection, i.e. overt AIDS, usually several years after catching HIV. It can occur in early HIV, but usually does not. In either recent or longstanding HPV, thrush is never the only symptom. Also, most coated tongue and other white patches in the mouth are not thrush. See a doctor if you have symptoms you are concerned about.

Question 4

Oral thrush 14th day after possible hiv exposure.is it ars symptom? p24 combo on13th day; index value 0.1& nonreactive.no other symptoms.how reliable?

Accepted Answer

Even if you contracted HIV , you do not become ill this early.  Have you been on an antibiotic recently?  Inhaled steroid and diabetes are also associated with oral thrush.

Question 5

Can oral thrush be caused by something other than hiv or cancer?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics, steroids, and some asthma inhalers can cause oral thrush.

Question 6

If hiv caused someones oral thrush, how soon of an infection of hiv would cause it? 1 year? 2 year?

Accepted Answer

This suggests major immune dysfunction. It could occur conceivably with acute HIV syndrome, but  generally if this were due to HIV disease it would have been years of infection without treatment for that degree of immune deficiency to occur.

Question 7

Oral thrush w/ no hiv/aids, no medications, no diabetes, nothing unusual. i am worried b/c everything i read says that highly unusual for adult thrush?

Accepted Answer

Since you are a female, this may be caused by a yeast infection. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by the same fungus that causes oral thrush. Also yeast infections can lower your immune system, that is when oral thrush can happen.

Question 8

Got oral thrush from steroid inhalers. will it go into my lungs? i don't have hiv or immuneo viruses etc.

Accepted Answer

Steroid inhaler may affect the trachea but doesnt get to the lungs. Rinsing iut the mouth with luke warm water can prevent oral thrush.

Question 9

Beginning of sickness i was drinking. so i got real sick and oral thrush came. i've never had thrush before. does this mean i have hiv or cancer?

Accepted Answer

Without knowing your risk factors difficult to say but differential such as HIV do need to be considered

Question 10

Are oral thrush, dry mouth and vaginal thrush common ars symptoms for hiv? & what are the chances that i contracted hiv from receiving cunnilingus?

Accepted Answer

You do need to see your  physician to clarify your concerns. You need an evaluation to answer the question of why you have  thrush. While you may get an HIV test, there are  other things that  need  clarification. This may not  be a major  problem but it is best  to check it out
