Tah...thanks for the replies guys.

Cheerio
Hi. I do think that you are worried about nothing. The symptoms that you described don't sound very serious and may not even be related. If you did contract HIV, the test at 5 months would definately have picked it up.
Some people when infected with HIV have flu like symptoms 6-12 weeks after infection, but most people with HIV are asymtomatic ie there are no symptoms until they get full blown AIDS after 8-10 years.

The toungue problem could be thrush, try using a mouth wash morning and night

Ive woken up with a taste like pennys were in my mouth. And i also get the tongue thing. I went to the doc and he said i had a geographical tongue. This made little sense but I beleive him.

Hi Guys,

yes it did taste like I had a mouth full of coins and I also had geographic tongue...maybe I am worried about nothing but I can't shake the idea out of my head!
I doubt the tongue thing is thrush because I was trested for it and it didn't go away (this also made me think it was HIV), I think the tongue thing is more of a coating of some sort...it's not always there.
Thanks for replying...are there any docs or nurses out there though that could have an opinon as to what I might have?

Cheers

Mouth ulcers are very common, my husband gets them when he is stressed or tired. They are quite often not related to anything other problem.

Hello, I came across your post and I too am constantly thinking I have contracted the HIV virus. Although I have no symptoms, and my last test for all diseases came back negative...i sometimes get the feeling they switched my tests on accident. I also have a disease called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I always think something is wrong with me, and I have wild and vivid thoughts about having diseases and having to live with them, I have even contemplated suicide. I just wanted to let you know that you might want to contact a mental health professional as well because i believe you can get some relief. hope this helps!

Umm...a friend of mine alerted me to this website because of the name that is being used.
I don't want to sound rude but a lot of the content in the post makes it sound like it's me....apparently my age and the fact that I might have some kind of mental problem.
It could be coincidence but it's weird that someone is using the word sss as it's something that I made up a long time ago.
Can anyone shed any light maybe???

Sorry..just finding this all a bit weird.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused...what do you mean? I was not trying to accuse you or diagnose you for having a mental disorder, just thought that my situation might help you...if it doesnt, I'm sorry.

If it wasn't you that wrote it, how come the denial post was posted with the same user name and you were able to edit the first post 20 mins before the denial post was made? In future if you don't want people to find out your identity you can sign in as guest.
