What Is The Treatment For White Patches In The Tongue?
Hello, i recently discovered white patches on my tongue and 2 red bumps at the very back of my tongue. This worry me because as i have checked on the internet, it means that i might have the HIV. I am only 15 years old and has never done any sexual intercourse with anyone before. Well, as an experiment i have tried ejaculating in my mouth before just to see how it tastes. Also, i have masturbate almost everyday through my pants and when i ejaculate, i just let the semen stick on my pants until the next day to wash it. Will any of this be the cause of HIV? Do i even have HIV? What should i do?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query white patches on tongue which is definitely a matter of concern. f it is painless and not changing shape then it could be thrush, leucoplakia or lichen planus, now as it is painful it should be diagnosed as early possible. As you are scared of having HIV, white pain is not the only sign for that. you should not panic about it. I would suggest you to visit oral pathologist once and get biopsy done. Biopsy will rule out any skin malignancy or oral pathology. after that your treatment can be started accordingly. Maintain proper oral hygiene off oral cavity, clean tongue daily. Scrap off white deposits very lightly just to remove debris. Drink alot water. Donot eat spicy, sharp food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
