Hi,
Anti depressant drugs will not cause immune deficiency. Sore throat can occur to anybody.
White tongue with red spots are not always indicative of HIV and it can occur in absence of HIV disease also.
Only your sexual activity, the risk and HIV test will indicate whether it could be due to HIV.
Consult you physician, he will guide you further and will cure you.
Get well soon.
