A member asked:
First i had thrush, then a cold sore and now there are bumps on the back of my tongue. i've never had sex before but could it be hiv?

No: Unless you had intravenous drug use or other high risk behavior you do not have HIV. The bumps on the back of your tongue are taste buds, Cold sores are a common occurrence in normal people. If you are over the thrush, it is not an issue.
