My negative hiv antibodies as well as pcr test negative in 18months but i have symptoms like white coated toungewith pain, phelgum, pimpleson shoulder?

White coated tongue: Could simply be thrush, also known as oral candidiasis. If you are still worried about hiv, then repeat testing is warranted. If you are using an immunosuppressant or inhaled medication or even smoking cigarettes or cigars, this could be the cause.
