COURSE OVERVIEW

Recognition and Management of Oral Lesions Seen in Association with HIV Disease

It has been 40 years since the first reports of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) were reported to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The dental team has been an important part of HIV primary care since the early days of the epidemic when up to 80% of all HIV+ patients would present with an oral manifestation related to disease progression.1 Recognition of the oral manifestations of HIV infection are important tools in accessing a patient’s overall well-being as they are important indicators of a compromised immune system.
