Bleedding gums, early symptom of HIV infection?

I had a low risk exposure and after 2 months have bleeding gums, ie in the morning when i spit i see blood mixed with saliva and after 4 to 5 spits the blood stops.


Is this just a bleeding gum problem or a early symptom of HIV infection ( after the low risk exposure I had light fever, headache and yeast like infection on my genitals which is gone now).


I got tested for HIV after 3 weeks of exposure with negative results

To be sure, you should be tested for HIV again. It may take six to twelve weeks for antibodies to show up in your system.


If the bleeding gums are caused by HIV, then the antibodies would probably be in your system, so retesting again now might not be too soon. This is something to discuss and have evaluated by your doctor. Your doctor may want you to wait longer, or to have two more tests. There are many diseases that can cause bleeding gums, but of course gum disease is the most common. Have you kept up with your dental hygiene?
Reply:I am not sure. Maybe you just have gingivitis, it makes your gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Ask your doctor or dentist.
Reply:It could be gingivitis. Go to the dentist for a check-up. Dentist treated me for infection and it stopped the bleeding. I had a cavity which turned into a root canal. Good luck.
Reply:There are other, more common infections that could cause this. If you had contact with someone with HIV, you should know that with a compromised immune system they may have been carrying any number of infections. Do you floss in the morning? If the bleeding is following flossing and then stops, sounds like you have a mild gum problem which is probably unrelated.





Have your doctor check you for a range of infections, and see a dentist if your gums don't improve. Good luck.
