Abstract
Oral health forms an important aspect of overall general health. Ranging from minor infections to several chronic diseases, oral health can be a first indicator to identify health problems.
HIV infection causes progressive deficiency in the immune system leading to many opportunistic infections and a wide range of oral manifestations.
Oral manifestations have found a place in many classifications and staging related to HIV infection. Many earlier studies on oral manifestation of HIV have been based on western population. Hence a study highlighting the distribution of oral manifestation among HIV patients under ART have been undertaken involving South Indian population.
