Brief Answer:
No oral thrush. Forecan and Candid are not necessary

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.

Negative Tridot after 115 days is almost conclusive as far as HIV is concerned. It may become 100% conclusive by another negative test with a different kit like ELISA.

1.All white patch over tongue are not necessarily due to oral thrush or HIV. It has to be confirmed by your physician who had enough experience in treating HIV patients
2.All the other symptoms are not specific to HIV and not related to HIV.
3.Brown spots over the face of your wife and her head ache might be due to exposure to sunlight during the recent days.
The pictures sent by you reveals no oral thrush but a geographical tongue which of no clinical importance. Unnecessary Forecan tablets and candid mouth paint may do harm.
Other pictures have nothing to do with HIV. Might be a spontaneous one without any importance.
Nothing to worry.

Brief Answer:
Mouth ulcers are unlikely to be due to HIV infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
As the HIV Tridot test 115 days after the risky exposure was negative, I am sure that you are unlikely to have HIV. There are many other reasons for mouth ulcers.
It is your physician's part to fix the exact cause for these mouth ulcer.
Get well soon.

Hi sir,
White patches or white lines on tongue is there and mouth ulcers are still there.
Can you say these are not related hiv?
''unlikely'' means not related or still there is a chance for hiv.
Request you to please tell me.sorry , The white lines or patches will come in the morning. I will clean them while doing brush to my teeth and they will go.
Since two days I am having some relief from ulcers but they are giving mild pain while taking meals/dinner.

Can I remove hiv in my mind or still there is a chance in contracting.
Please tell me.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Oral lesions and genital lesions not related to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Your TRIDOT was negative after 115 days. The pictures sent by you did not reveal any oral thrush.
White lines and patches were able to be cleaned by brushing your teeth process. With these data I can tell that you are free from HIV and these lesions are not related to HIV. Unless I am seeing personally and examine you and your investigations, we have some limitations. So only we are using such words like 'unlikely, almost, most likely' etc.
It is almost sure that you are free from HIV.
