This article will examine certain areas of the body where new HIV infections often cause wounds, following the lead of a Mayo Clinic book on the subject. Relax and take in this article while you get some valuable knowledge.

If you have HIV, you may experience wounds in a number of different areas of your body.

According to healthline First, inside the mouth: people infected with HIV are more likely to experience oral injuries. Oral thrush is caused by an overabundance of the Candida fungus and manifests itself as white patches and sores inside the mouth. Candida causes unusual white spots in the mouth, and if you notice any of these spots, it’s probably a good idea to be checked out, as they can be an early symptom of HIV in the acute stage.

Private area wounds (or anus wounds) are number two on the list. Newly infected people may also get pains or sores in the anus and even the genital area; this is typically caused by the virus, and it’s important to get tested if you’ve had intimate contact with someone you don’t know the status of. One of the earliest symptoms of HIV infection is the development of sores in the anus and vaginal area.
