title: Progress in HIV and AIDS care.
abstract: These recent meetings emphasized the considerable progress that has been made in HIV/AIDS. The prospect for non-progression of the disease, improved management of complications arising from the condition, and the potential for additional progress were the hallmarks of these meetings. The considerable developments that have occurred make it necessary for the dental profession to continue to play a role in the recognition, diagnosis, and management of oral conditions, and to keep abreast of the considerable developments in this field-and the implications that these developments have for patients presenting with complications related to other conditions, which may include bacterial, fungal or viral infections and malignant disease.
