Abstract

Children are innocent victims of HIV infection. Children who are HIV positive, either through mother-to-child transmission or following sexual abuse, are often not revealed what could happen to them. They will undoubtedly be worried when they experience symptoms. It has been estimated that 90% of people with HIV infection present at least one oral indication at some time during the disease. The presence of oral lesions may be an early diagnostic indicator of HIV/AIDS. Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of HIV associated oral lesions in children can reduce morbidity and improve the quality of life of children who have HIV/AIDS.
