Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have developed some pigmentation changes on your lips. To help restore your natural lip color and get rid of the uneven pigmentation, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can apply this cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further damage and discoloration. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid further picking or peeling of the skin on your lips.

Question 5

Ive had mouth ulcers for about 45 days after being exposed to the HIV virus, and Im not sure if this is a symptom of HIV or not. Can you tell me if mouth ulcers are linked to HIV? Also, what tests should I get now to check for HIV?

Accepted Answer

Mouth ulcers can be a symptom of HIV, but they don't necessarily confirm the presence of the virus. To determine if you've contracted HIV, you can take an HIV test, specifically a 4th generation antibody/antigen (Ab/Ag) test, which can detect HIV 45 days after exposure with 99% accuracy. Additionally, nucleic acid tests (NATs) can detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure, but these tests are typically used for high-risk exposures
