What Does An Ulcer In The Mouth Indicate?

Hello Sir. I had an oral sex ( licking vagina) with a woman working in SPA in an hotel couple of days ago. I have an ulcer in my mouth but it is not bleeding. I am so scared as the HIV status of woman is unknown. My partner is pregnant so I am scared about her. Please help. Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Ulcer in mouth can be simply a canker sore that can be caused due to a number of causes like eating something very spicy or sour, reaction to any food or medication, nutritional deficiency, biting of mucosa with teeth etc..

It can also be due to viral infection..

As far as HIV is concerned the symptoms does not appear so soon and it can take for about years for the symptoms to appear..

So do not worry about it..

In case if you are doubtful about the HIV exposure, you should get a HIV test done for confirmation..

For now for the ulcer in mouth you can apply Lidocaine gel over it and take Vitamin B complex daily..
Do warm saline gargles..
Hopefully the ulcer will resolve in a week or even less..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
