What Are The Symptoms Of HIV?
Hi I've never done this before but have freaked myself out to the point I am convinced I have hiv. I have white on tongue but brushes off, tingling in hands and feet, rash that comes and goes mostly in sweaty areas, peeling on end of fingers (although I do physical labor now...flooring ) and I feel like I have ulcers in mouth but not sure if it's from biting cheeks...I did test negative once from a home hiv test but even convinced myself I did it wrong. I had unprotected sex with a white male I know and haven't heard he has hiv but really you never know. Please help

Firstly you need to stop bothering yourself about HIV with each symptom. Patients with the HIV have chronic fever, chronic diarrhoea, weight loss, etc. I advise you to go to a proper center and get HIV test done by ELISA test before jumping to conclusions. Get your HB, TLC, DLC, Platelets, GBP, blood sugar done.
Start a mutivitamin daily. Follw up with investigations I would be happy to help.

Hello
Since you are in confusion about HIV infection and your history ,mentioned in the query is not an indication that you are having HIV.
For your information I am writing various symptoms of HIV infected patient, these include:
General
Fever, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, headache/retro-orbital pain ( behind eyes ),
arthralgias/malaise, anorexia/weight loss , nausea/vomiting/diarrhea.
Erythematous maculopapular rash , mucocutaneous ulceration ( mouth and on tongue) .
As you mentioned that white tongue is there , rash present feeling of ulcer in mouth . Peeling of skin on fingers is due to flooring.
All these symptoms which you are having is not an indication that you are a patient of HIV infection, so need not to confuse .
To be absolutely sure you need to do the tests at 90 days & when it comes NEGATIVE then only you can be declared HIV negative .
But according to your symptoms I don't recommend you any test for HIV.
Hope this information will be useful for you.
Good luck.
