Bleedding gums, early symptom of HIV infection?!
Question:
Bleedding gums, early symptom of HIV infection?
I had a low risk exposure and after 2 months have bleeding gums, ie in the morning (even before brushing) when i spit i see blood mixed with saliva and after 4 to 5 spits the blood stops. Also i see blood from gums too when i brush
Is this just a bleeding gum problem or a early symptom of HIV infection ( after the low risk exposure I had light fever, headache and yeast like infection on my genitals which is gone now).
I got tested for HIV after 3 weeks of exposure with negative results
Answers:
Be sure to repeat your HIV test. HIV testing generally looks for HIV antibodies in the blood, or saliva or urine. The immune system produces these antibodies to fight HIV. It usually takes two to three months for them to show up. In rare cases, it can take longer than three months. During this "window period" you may not test positive for HIV even if you are infected.
