Tongue taste buds: See your dentist or an oral surgeon. Many patients mistake vallate papilla near the back of the tongue for lesions or 'enlargements'. That whitish coating may be thrush if you've had an infection and antibiotic therapy lately. But it may just need brushing off. Only you can determine if you may have HIV, depending on your intimacy with partners who are infected. Get tested.
