Global aspects of the AIDS epidemic.
The Global Programme on AIDS monitors this epidemic in all countries that report cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome to the World Health Organization. The present trends show a dramatic increase in the heterosexual distribution in Africa, Thailand, and some Latin American countries. According to the World Health Organization's prediction, about 4 million infants will have been born to HIV-infected women by the year 2000. Because many HIV-infected patients will have oral manifestations, there is a great challenge to the dental profession.
