Does it bleed and burn when you scrape it off?? Does it come off easily? If it does not bleed, and it comes off easy, what you have my man is residue that you may have only noticed until now. Thats why dentists recommend brushing the tongue. Furthermore thrush does not usually present itself ina "thin" layer...its actually patches of grainy think white/yellowish substance that looks like cottage cheese.
Even if it was to be thrush, try to remember taht extreme stress is a causing condition for thrush. There is NO way you can have HIV-related thrush this soon. HIV-related thrush is linked to the progressive destruction of the immune system, causing an imbalance in the normal bacterial flora the body has.
Several years must pass before this destruction can visibly take place. If you were told that a 5.5week test was sufficient, now it is up to you to decide if you are comfortable with it. I take it the nurse assessed your risk exposure and that's how she concluded it was enough (probably because she thinks you are most definitely not infected).
