“…Oral thrush particularly if extending to the esophagus has been widely reported to be synonymous with severe immunosuppression [ 36 ]. In Nigeria, the prevalence of oral candidiasis ranges between 36 and 80% in HIV patients [ 37 , 38 ], and the condition is predictive of severe immunosuppression with approximately 50% of patients developing AIDS within 5 years [ 39 ]. Goh et al [ 11 ], Sharma et al [ 40 ], and Puttaiah et al [ 41 ] reported lower CD4 counts less than 200 cells/mm 3 in patients with oral thrush.…”

Skin diseases are indicators of HIV/AIDS which correlates with WHO clinical stages. In resource limited environment where CD4 count is not readily available, they can be used in assessing HIV patients. The study aims to determine the mucocutaneous manifestations in HIV positive patients and their correlation with WHO clinical stages. A prospective cross-sectional study of mucocutaneous conditions was done among 215 newly diagnosed HIV patients from June 2008 to May 2012 at adult ART clinic, Wesley Guild Hospital Unit, OAU Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ilesha, Osun State, Nigeria. There were 156 dermatoses with oral/oesophageal/vaginal candidiasis (41.1%), PPE (24.4%), dermatophytic infections (8.9%), and herpes zoster (3.8%) as the most common dermatoses. The proportions of dermatoses were 4.5%, 21.8%, 53.2%, and 20.5% in stages 1–4, respectively. A significant relationship (using Pearson's Chi square with P value <0.05) was obtained between dermatoses and WHO clinical stages. Pearson's correlation coefficient showed a positive correlation between the number of dermatoses and the WHO clinical stages. Dermatoses can therefore serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers in resource limited settings to initiate HAART in clinical stages 3 and 4.

“…4,5 Therefore, PLHIV with oral problems are facing more risks of having inadequate energy intake, especially protein, which can lead to malnutrition and muscle wasting compared with PLHIV without oral problems. 6,7 In order to alleviate these problems providing snacks for PLHIV to increase their energy intakes and to maintain their optimal nutritional status is highly recommended. Experts also suggested that some food modifications with regards to texture and appropriate content of moisture are necessary to enable patients with oral problems to easily chew and swallow their food.8,9 Hence, PLHIV with oral problems need special food product with appropriate energy intake, nutritional merit, and food texture to maintain their optimal nutritional status.…”

People living with HIV (PLHIV) with oral problems usually suffer from malnutrition due to difficulties in chewing and swallowing, which lead to under nutrition. In addition, hyperglycemia is one of the major problems among PLHIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART).Up to now, in Thailand there is still a lack of specialized food products for PLHIV with oral problems that can be easily chewed and swallowed to prevent their malnutrition.This study aimed to develop high protein food products in the form of snack with artificial sweeteners, and to determine the levels of acceptance (taste, flavor, color, texture and overall satisfaction) by PLHIV with oral problems. Soybean milk pudding was selected as the food product since it is the most favored snack among PLHIV. All 3 high protein snacks (containing sugar, sucralose, and stevioside) were developed for 30 PLHIV with oral problems, and their sensory perceptions were evaluated. Results revealed there were no significant differences in all aspects of sensory perceptions between the 3 high protein snacks, except for color (p<0.05). In addition, overall satisfaction scores of all 3 high protein snacks were deemed to be acceptable by all PLHIV participants
