Extremely eHealthy
Fingering is an extremely low risk activity for transmission of HIV virus.
However, theoretically is possible to get infected with HIV virus if there were some cuts on your finger that allowed the possibly present virus in vaginal and anal fluid to rich inside your body.
Weakness and fatigue are common symptoms of iron deficiency.
Having white patches doesn't always indicates hairy leukoplakia.
Acctually, yellowish or creamy white spots on tongue, sometimes accompanied with discomfort and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, can be due to Candida overgrowth (harmless fungus) or oral thrush.
Iron deficiency is a predisposing condition for growth of Candida.
Personally, I think there is no need to worry about possible HIV infection.

Have you tried to wiped of the white patches?

I don't know where you live but GET TESTED. You can order HIV tests over the internet if you don't feel safe doing it with a clinic or doctor where you live.But please,get tested.Oral thrush was the first sign I had.I am not trying to scare you but waiting and doing nothing will not help,it will just make it worse.Find out,if you are positive then you can start to plan action.If not,then you can quit worrying..good luck.Let us hear what happens.we do care.I will also say a prayer for you..it couldn't hurt.right? Be brave.Be strong.take action.

Listen,the ONLY way to know is to get tested for HIV.There is no other answer.If you want to know then you must get tested.No other way to deal with it.Freaking out and all is common but at some point you are going to have to get tested.You can do this by purchasing a test on line if you are not comfortable doing it with your doctor or at a free clinic.You have to get tested to know otherwise you will just wait and worry and if it is HIV,you will just get sicker without medication.

It is best to wait 3 months after possible infection and then get tested. There is no way to know without getting tested.
