1. possibly, but you won't get the answer you need here. go get tested
2. definitely get tested. To help the symptoms, gargle with a tea tree oil solution: 6-10 drops of tea tree oil to a shot glass of warm water. Swish through mouth and gargle, then spit out (do not swallow). This helps disinfect the mouth. If the solution is too strong (burns on the tongue too much), use less drops.
3. Possibly. It could also be oral herpes or even just thrush and ulcers... Get tested, which you should be doing at least once a year if you are sexually active anyway. In the meantime, a baking soda and water paste swabbed on the inside of your mouth will help the thrush.
4. There is a prescirtion med...liquid for thrush............which has nothing to do with oral hygeine but mouth ulcers can be checked for a disease called lupus.It is prominent in African Americans but may also manifest in sore joints........loss of hair and cachnore sores in teeth or gums in women.Arthritis seems to be the main culprit and the joints cause weakness with no fever so it is hard to determine.An internist or an arthritis specialist may be needed to diagnos
5. sounds more like candida
6. I agree with diana, sounds more like a candida/yeast infection to me. But you can have a hiv/aids test to put your mind at ease if you like. Good luck
7. usually see thrush in people whose immune system is comprom ised. It doesnt mean HIV
8. Do you use oral steroids for asthma because they can also cause thrush that can go down to your esophagus if left untreated.
9. no, i get them all the time and i don't either of those diseases.
