Is oral candida an early symptom of HIV-infection after 50 days?

Answer

I would not necessarily link oral candida to HIV. There are millions of HIV-negative people around the world who also develop oral candida. The only way to know one’s HIV status is a test.

Hi,
Oral candidiasis is an oppurtunistic infection which occurs in relatively stabilised HIV infection and in very rare cases can develop as a part of primary HIV infection. The only way to get sure is to get tested.
Hope this helps .
