A member asked:

Tsted hiv1/2 ab, 3yrs ftr high rsk exposure, used condom, all are non reactive. now i hve white fold-like on both side of my tongue, am i hiv free?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

White fold: This is not a quick yes or no, you need to confirm HIV yes or no with a blood test as ther are several other things that could cause white fold on tongue. Candidiasis, a fungal infection is common in hiv+ patients and easily detected and sampled for biopsy and typing by your dentist. I would suggest you have your tongue looked at and your bloodwork done if you have any concerns at all.
