Kindly do a hiv test to rule out hiv.
White coating of tongue maybe oral candidiasis.
And rashes maybe due to the virus itself or maybe syphillis.
And use condom if Ur currently sexually active with someone.
Some high risk behaviours that put u at risk of hiv is unprotected sex (heterosexual and homosexual= more chances with anal sex if you were the passive partner.), IV drug abuse.
Next Steps
kindly do the hiv test along with hcv , hbsag and VDRL and gonorrhoea test.
if any doubts or for more info on sexual health /LGBT health kindly message in consult
