Past few days, have noticed a small brown spot right in the middle of my upper lip, you know where that v-shape bit is on your top lip?? My lip feels a bit 'odd' - and its annoying - ive tested negative for HSV1 & 2 before (at my last GUM clinic visit a few weeks ago)
So, here's how my thought process went.... please can someone confirm im being daft??
1. is it a zit or a wart...... thought process deduced wart... (not sure why)
2. why am i getting a wart on my lip? thought process deduced reduced immunity.
3. why do i have reduced immunity? thought process deduced HIV!!
Note, ive had a bit of a nasty viral/cold type thing for about a week, currently 8/9wks post-exposure....
From my research, ive found that things like oral warts & lesions, and things like that are presented MUCH later in HIV infection, not during 'window' period style timescales....
sometimes if you have a cold then you get sore chapped lips? i wouldnt worry, if it stays and you are still worried then go the walk in centre or docs and they will tell you what it really is!!
yeah - thats what i was thinking too actually, its a really bizarre little creature, a little brown spot.... not very big, 2mm across, the lip looks a bit inflamed around it - and it feels a bit sore.........
Dude, how many more times can I say this to you. I have, and still have a messed up mouth. Stress anihalates (sp) the body. Don't keep asking the same questions, you are negative man. I have told you so many times. STRESS! It weakens the immune system!
mate, sorry - i know im being a prat! but my health anxiety has locked onto this - and turned me into a madman!!!!
eg: i have acne, acne gives you infected hair follicles, previously, i thought nothing of it, now when i have three or four infected hairs on my chest?? its folliculitis!
