Abstract

Medical clinicians recognize that HIV-related oral abnormalities are present in 40-75% of cases, but less often describe them accurately. Low sensitivity implies that the true associations of specific oral lesions with other HIV phenomena, such as time until AIDS, must be stronger than the literature suggests.
