Bleeding Gums - HIV Prevention Message Board

When I brushed my teeth today, I noticed that I had quite a bit of bleeding on my gums. I am now worried that this is a symptom of HIV. I took a 10 week test and it was negative, but now I am looking for symptoms. PLease help

Bleeding gums are in no way linked to HIV. You need to see a dentist you might have some gum disease or gingivitus caused from not flossing.

anemia is a late HIV disease that ppl tend to get when their immune sytem becomes compromised, not an early one

Bleeding Gums Murphy,

Please relax, bleeding gums is not a sign of HIV infection. GO see the dentist for a checkup.
