I'm really worried because I've developed mouth ulcers about 45 days after being exposed to the HIV virus. Could this be a symptom of HIV? I'm not sure which test I should take right now to check for HIV. Can you guide me on what's the best step to take?

Mouth ulcers can be a symptom of HIV, but they don't necessarily confirm the presence of the virus. To determine if you've contracted HIV, you can take an HIV test, specifically a 4th generation antibodyantigen (AbAg) test, which can detect HIV 45 days after exposure with 99% accuracy. Additionally, nucleic acid tests (NATs) can detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure, but these tests are typically used for high-risk exposures
