What Causes Yellow/brown Coated Tongue With HIV Positive?
HIV+, last counts were cd4= 580, viral= 160 copies (not on meds), infected for 2 years, eat healthy, work out and in good shape.......... I've recently started to have a yellow/brown coated tongue (~8 days) that can easily be brushed off, but comes back after a few hours. I have no other symptons, no sore throat, it doesn't feel like 'hairs' on my tongue, nor bumps, I have no constipation, no nausea, no fever. I have thought of candida but I've read everything there is to it online, it just doesn't seem to be that. Something worth noting is that I have started drinking fresh camel milk daily since two weeks (that does require me to go to the toilet after an hour to excrete), and I have started using a new protein shake after my gym workouts. Any advice?

Hello welcome to HCM
I am Dr Jigar(ID sepcialist). I will be answering your concern.
You have provided enough details and according to it my advice would be just do not panic. This could be attributed to dietary habit change. Maintain your positive way of living life.
But looking at your profile i think you should consult your treating doctor for complete oral examination to rule out candidial infection or other oral lesions which can be found in HIV + patients.
I will be happy to help you further if require. Wish you a healthy life ahead.
Regards.
