Dry Mouth and Sticky White Substance in MOUTH?!

Dry Mouth and Sticky White Substance in MOUTH?

I have bleeding gums and when i get up in the morning I have blood in the spit. I went to dentist and he asked me to use Periogaurd (mouthwash).

In the morning I am experiencing dry mouth. and some white sticky substance inside the mouth ie on the inner cheeks and gums (not on the tounge).

These look like symptoms of oral thrush (dry mouth and white sticky substance)

my friend said its just the mouth is shedding, but on internet i found that body creates that naturally in mucus areas to keep away bacteria?

please need expert advice and people with experience in DENTAL area.

Also I had a low risk sex experience (went down on a woman for 2 minutes) two months ago and scared that bleeding gums (gingivitis) is a symptom or condition of HIV. she dint ejaculate and i dint have any open sores in my mouth

Please help me to keep my mind at peace.

After one month of this low risk exposrue i got tested for HIV with negative (Orasure)

It does sound like mouth thrush and it is also possible to have a yeast infection of the mouth and you will need antibiotics to clear that up I know it usually occurs in a womans vagina but I am being serious here you can get it in the mouth, as crazy as it sounds my 75 year old grandpa got it in his and was diagnosed before he left the hospital, he was in there for chest pain and came out on meds for that and an oralyeast infection, now I dont know how or why he got it but I do know it is possible to get it and not be sexually active, becuase he wasnt when he was diagnosed with it, so you may want to discuss that with your doc or dentist as a possibility. Good luck and take care!~
