Suggest Treatment For Thrush Infection In Mouth

Good day! I have unprotected sex, and it was 2 years ago. Im worried about the sex disease especially the HIV. I never had any test. I remember, i have a trush in my mouth for a week after i had sex. Trying to brush the trush in my tongue but its painful. I never had any treatment, its suddenly gone after a week. Until now i never see any indications or symptoms of HIV

Thrush is common in immune-compromised patient such as HIV positivity, persons taking steroids, malnutrition and organ transplant patient. As you have history of unprotected sex, you must get tested for all serious sexually transmitted infections.
HIV screening is done by ELISA test and confirmation is done by Western blot test.

1.     Fluconazole 50 mg daily per oral for 14 days
2.     Do gargle with chlorhexidine mouth wash every 8 hours
3.     Do not rub thrush with brush as it will cause bleeding and infection
4.     Take hepatitis B vaccine on 0, 1 and 6 months – 3 doses for future prevention of hepatitis B
5.     Always use condom while having sex with escort
6.     Investigations
a.     HIV screening
b.     Australia antigen
c.     HCV DNA
d.     VDRL
