HIV/AIDS compromises the immune system, which increases a person's susceptibility to diseases, including oral infections. Often, the first signs of HIV infection—oral symptoms—might affect general health and quality of life.
Typical oral conditions affect HIV/AIDS patients.
Oral candidiasis, also known as thrush, is a fungal illness that causes white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, and throat.
2. Oral hairy leukopakia, white, corrugated tongue lesions brought on by the Epstein-Barr virus.
Severe gum infections causing bleeding, discomfort, and tooth loss—gingivitis and periodontitis.
A malignant lesion called Kaposi's sarcoma shows up as red or purple dots on the tongue, mouth, or gums.
5. Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), painful blisters inside the mouth and on the lips.
6. Xerostomia, sometimes known as dry mouth, lowers saliva output, therefore raising the cavity and infection risk.
Management and Prevention
Regular brushing and flossing help you maintain good dental hygiene.
See a dentist routinely for early diagnosis and treatment.
To strengthen immunity, use antiretroviral therapy (ART); avoid alcohol and smoking, which aggravate oral diseases.
Early diagnosis and excellent dental hygiene will help those living with HIV/AIDS greatly increase their health and well-being.
