Yeah...This is not aids most likely Herpangina...a viral infection that causes little blisters on your tonsils, back of throat, soft palate and uvula and sometimes tongue. You need antibiotics. It is caused by the coxsackie virus...Herpangina is caused by Coxsackie virus, typically Coxsackie group A viruses. Herpangina is characterized by mouth ulcers, but a high fever, sore throat, and headache may precede the appearance of the sores.
The sores are generally ulcers with a white to whitish-gray base and a red border -- usually on the roof of the mouth and in the throat. The ulcers may be very painful. Generally, there are only a few sores.
The number of cases of herpangina is unknown, but it is a common childhood infection. Cases of herpangina at school or in the neighborhood increase the chances your child will develop the illness
Since normally it affects young children...I would see an ENT to rule out Oropharynx cancer...which has similar symptoms if you are a little older..remember you don't have to be a smoker or a drinker to get throat cancer(tonsillar cancer) because the HPV 16 virus is also known to cause this cancer.
Good luck Get checked out!!!

It's herpes. The sickness he had weakened his immune system which led to the breakout.
Wow, so this was of no help to me whatsoever. My tonsils are pretty swollen, I went to the hospital two days ago and they did a strep culture and
It came back negative. But yesterday I looked at my throat because it started hurting really bad and there was bright red spots all over the upper
and back part of my (pure white) mouth. Then I took another look today because the pain has gotten worse and now I have what looks like small
infected pockets around my tonsils. I tried to push on one with a q-tip and it just made the pain worse without emptying the little pocket.
Does anyone have a legitimate diagnosis? If its not strep, what is it?? Email me if u have any ideas. Thanks.

You probably have tonsil stones and you need your tonsils removed the only way to solve the problem.
