No!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this white tongue and al the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. You cannot brush a white tongue caused by HIV that easily. In fact, this is impossible to be taken off by mere brush if it were related to HIV.
In all, it is not the least related to HIV.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
