Oral Candidiasis & HIV Infection

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic, caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dramatically illustrates the awesome transmission capabilities of disease. Oral manifestations of HIV have been important in identification of patients harboring the HIV virus and in predicting the decline in their immune system Oral candidiasis is one of the earliest premonitory signs of HIV infection and its diagnosis may have grave prognostic implications for the eventual development of full blown AIDS. This review is intended to provide information on Oral candidiasis which is often the first manifestation of HIV infection, and dental care providers are likely to be among the first to recognize such manifestations. By recognizing such manifestations it will help to provide optimal and appropriate dental care, ensure early medical intervention, and, ultimately prolong a patient’s life and enhance its quality.
