A member asked:
Gum is a little sore, can this be caused by early hiv? probably not right? i don't see a sore, its just irritated..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV Highly unlikely: Sore gums are quite common and are not a sign of HIV. If you have had unprotected sex, or shared needles with some one, you should get tested, otherwise do not worry.
