Multiple herpesviruses in saliva of HIV-infected individuals.
Oral infections with human herpesviruses cause increased morbidity in patients infected with HIV. In this study, multiple HHVs were often isolated from the saliva of HIV-seropositive dental patients, but their isolation rate did not differ substantially from rates reported for the general population, except for human cytomegalovirus.
