Oral candidiasis (OC) is a frequent oral manifestation of HIV infection, is a marker disease and occurs as a pseudomembranous, erythematous or rarely hyperplastic variant; angular cheilitis is also seen. Candida albicans is frequently isolated but other species such as C. krusei and C. dublienensis are emerging. Resistance against fluconazole is common. Bacterial oral infections are comparatively rare and are predominantly localized to the gingiva and periodontium. Linear gingival erythema, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis and necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis have been described in HIV-infected patients. Initially, these diseases were considered specific for HIV infection. In recent years, however, it has become apparent that gingivitis and periodontitis in HIV-infected patients do not differ from those in immunocompetent individuals. AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) predominantly occurs at the palate, the gingiva and the dorsum of the tongue. Histopathologically, oral KS is identical to classical KS. Oral KS has been treated surgically, using laser, radiotherapy and intralesional injections with chemo- and immunotherapy. After introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) oral manifestations, such as OC, gingivo-periodontitis and KS are rarely seen.

“…This considerable variation can be due to lack of clear diagnosis standardization and the heterogeneity of the population's studies. The existence of Linear Erythematous Gingivitis as a periodontal disease entity that is strongly associated with HIV has been questioned by someand others suggested that Linear Erythematous Gingivitis is mostly misdiagnosed as gingivitis 11,12,13 .…”

A multitude of oral lesions have been described in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Human immunodeficiency virus infection is a major interest and concern to dentists and other health care workers because of the many varieties of oral lesions often associated with Human immunodeficiency virus infection. Individual's tested seropositive for Human immunodeficiency virus infections are more susceptible to occurrence of lesions in oral cavity. This review covers the clinical and therapeutics aspects of Human immunodeficiency virus associated oral diseases. Data was collected from detailed search through research and review articles of scientific journals and magazines as well as through Pubmed and National medical library database.

“…They belong among the earliest clinical features of the infection and could predict progression of HIV disease to AIDS. (Robinson et al, 2002;Coogan et al, 2005). It should also be mentioned that for patients on antiretroviral therapy, HIV-related oral lesions in general, may suggest possible treatment failure as will be further discussed in the present review.…”
