hello,
since you have tested negative for HIV so its almost ruled out.. get examined yourself by your doctor... it can be due to some vitamin deficiency or fungal infection or improper oral hygiene...
Hi,smith thanks for query.It could be some fungal infection also.Please get in touch with your doctor who will after examination will give proper treatment.It could also be due to some vitamin deficiency.As you have tested HIV negative even after 7 months ,HIV is mostly ruled out.Bye.
