Hello, I was diagnosed with mild esophageal candidiasis months ago, accidentally by doing my endoscopy The Dr. told me it caused by some antibiotics that I was using. He did not recommend any tests But I did HIV test twice 5 months and 8 months from the last protected sex Both shown negative result Should I worry more? Do I have to do more tests? Is it normal for a healthy person to have a mild esophageal candidiasis? Thank you so much in advance.

Hello- Esophageal candidiasis occurs in immuno-compromised patients including HIV, but it has many other reasons too. Since your HIV tests are negative, nothing to worry about.
