Many things can cause thrush that have absolutely nothing to do with HIV. With your counts this is probably one of those.
I think we all get tunnel vision sometimes and forget that just because we have HIV we can get stuff that has nothing to do with it. I copied a few paragraphs from 1uphealth.com listing the causes of thrush.
****************************
The mouth normally contains many microorganisms. One of these normal microorganisms is the fungus Candida albicans, which is the same fungus associated with vaginal yeast infections or other Candida infections. The growth of Candida is normally kept under control by the presence of normal bacteria.
Uncontrolled overgrowth of Candida in the mouth may be caused by factors that reduce the natural resistance, such as illness, stress, long-term use of corticosteroids or medications that suppress the immune system, and immune disorders such as (AIDS).
It may also be caused by conditions that upset the balance of normal microorganisms in the mouth. This is most commonly associated with use of antibiotics, but it may also occur with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and with the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy or the use of birth control pills.
