Oral Manifestations of HIV Disease

Oral Manifestations of HIV Disease
HIV-related oral conditions occur in a large proportion of patients, but are frequently misdiagnosed or inadequately treated. Common conditions include xerostomia, candidiasis, oral hairy leukoplakia, periodontal disease, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and ulcerative conditions.

In the December 2005/January 2006 issue of Topics in HIV Medicine, a review on the Oral Manifestations of HIV Disease summarized a talk given by David A. Reznik, DDS, at the 8th Annual Clinical Conference for Ryan White CARE Act Clinicians in New Orleans, Louisiana, June 2005.

In July of 2006, the IAS-USA published a pocket-sized, folding card, which included the oral manifestations reviewed in Topics in HIV Medicine, and typical presentations and treatment options. To receive complimentary copies of the Oral Manifestations Resource Card or to purchase bulk copies, please complete a request form or send an e-mail to info2008 " at" iasusa.org.

The illustrative figures used in the Oral Manifestations in HIV review article and educational resource card are available for download in Power Point format.
