Could Painless Canker Sore After Sex Be A Symptom Of HIV?

Question: I have a single painless canker sore that has appeared one week after 1 minute of unprotected sex. Could it be an early symptom of HIV?
Brief Answer:
its not a symptom!
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Please Dont worry! The sore is not a sign of HIV; as the signs of HIV develop long time after the exposure.
However the sore may be a sign of sexually transmitted disease and I strongly recommend that you meet a doctor at the earliest for doing the necessary tests and treatment. Avoid unprotected sex.
Take care
