title: Oral manifestations of HIV infection.
abstract: Oral lesions are frequently seen in association with all stages of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Many of these lesions occur as the first clinical sign of HIV infection. These lesions include candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, warts, ulcers, and an aggressive form of periodontal disease. Careful oral examination may reveal lesions that alter Centers for Disease Control staging.
