| description | <b>Background:</b> Oral lesions are common among Human Immuno deficiency Virus (HIV)-positive patients. The pattern of oral features in these persons may differ in separate settings.<b> Aims: </b> To find out the spectrum of oral manifestations among a section of seropositive individuals attending the antiretroviral therapy (ART) centre of a referral hospital.<b> Materials and Methods:</b> A total of three hundred and twenty-one newly diagnosed seropositive patients were enrolled in this study. Of these, ninety-four patients who demonstrated lesions related to the oral cavity were examined intra-orally by a clinician. HIV testing was done with ELISA and CD4 counts were measured with the help of fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) system. <b> Results:</b> Fifty-four respondents presented exclusively with oral lesions. Candidiasis patients were the largest group (38.30%). <b> Conclusion:</b> HIV disease presents a plethora of oral manifestations, which provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. |
