1Oral Health Fact Sheet for Dental ProfessionalsAdults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease is a syndrome resulting from the acquired deficiency of cellular immunity caused by a complex family of lentiviruses. These are composed of 2 sub types HIV-1 and HIV-2.
HIV infection is characterized by the reduction of the Helper T-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and the lymph nodes. (ICD 9 code 042)
United States Prevalence >1,000,000personsinUSlivingwithHIVinfection;21%areundiagnosed
ManifestationsClinical among untreated or treatment resistant adults
Generalizedlymphadenopathy,fever,weightloss,andchronicdiarrhea Markedsuppressionofimmunefunctionresultinginopportunisticinfectionssuchas:pneumocystiscariniipneumonia,cytomegalovirus(CMV)infections,tuberculosis,HSVinfections,andcryptococcosis
HIV-associatedNeoplasms(usuallynon-HodgkinslymphomaandKaposisSarcoma)
Oral oral lesions may be among the first manifestations of disease Candidiasisoftheoralmucosa(mostcommonoralmanifestation)* Pseudomembranoustypeismostcommon,followedbyatrophic/erythematoustypeandangularcheilitis
