Oral health and HIV infection: a chronic disease model.
HIV disease is now considered a chronic illness requiring continued management and monitoring. However, for those with poor access to anti-retroviral medications, the disease continues to be associated with higher morbidity and mortality. With the expansion of the HIV pandemic into vulnerable subpopulations, HIV care requires coordinated and integrated care for a complex mix of psychosocial and clinical services that must include oral health care.
