A member asked:
Is a white spot on tonsils a symptom of hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV: Very unlikely. These are usually just concretions in little pits in the tonsil that are very common and can be picked out with a toothpick if they bother you. On the other hand, if you even suspect that you may have been exposed to hiv, please go and get tested. Better safe than sorry.
