Abstract
Oral problems are often the first significant clinical manifestations of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Their early recognition affords the best opportunity for effective therapeutic intervention of HIV infection and opportunistic infections, as well as for oral health education in order to avoid future problems.
