Oral HIV: I don't know what single symptom did you show in your mouth and the answer was no. There are many HIV oral infections which need tests to confirm them:candida, histplasmosis, cryptococcus, h. Simplex, h. Zoster, cmv, hpv, leukoplakia, dental abscess, kaposi sarcoma, lymphoma & other. Specific treatment of disease requires pinpoint diagnosis by tests. Good luck.

HIV: Hiv specialists can often diagnose oral lesions and tell whether or not it is likely to be related to that illness. If you think, for any reason, that you may have been infected with HIV please go and get tested asap. Good luck.
