The aim of our research was to detect the frequency of oral manifestations among the new revealed HIV-infected persons in 2013-2015. For this we studied the data from the center of AIDS, according to the testimony we studied those patients who needed stationary treatment and we got these results: In 2013 out of 490 new cases the presence of specific oral manifestations was found in 253(51.63 0.796%) patients. From whom we investigated 69 (27.270.61%) people. 45(65. 220. 45%) of them had oral candidiasis and 34(49.270.45%) disorders were caused by herpes-virus. In 2014 were revealed 564 new cases and the number of different concurrent intraoral lesions were found in 295(52.300.82%) patients. We investigated from them 146(49.490.66%) people and the result was next: 98 (67.120.32%) were different kinds of oral candidiasis and 54 (36.990.32%) diseases - caused by herpes-virus. In 2015 out of 717 new cases the HIV-associated oral manifestations were found in 381(53.130.86%) patients. We investigated 184(48.290.73%) people and as a result - 118 (64.130.46%) cases of them were oral candidiasis and 67(36.410.32%) were diseases caused by herpes-virus. According to the study it is obvious, that HIV-associated oral manifestations are met quite often among the HIV/ AIDS patients. It is very important to know specifications of these disorders, to make some right investigations and correct diagnosis in all situations, especially when it takes place HIV-associated oral lesions. Dentists should take in account the importance of instant diagnostic of oral manifestations in HIV/AIDS patients.

Background: AIDS is a collection of disease symptoms caused by HIV that damages the human immune system. Decreased immunity causes the patient to be very susceptible to various, often fatal, infectious diseases (opportunistic infections). Aim: To determine the difference in HIV/AIDS patients' survival rate between one co-infection and more than one opportunistic co-infection at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan in 2015-2017. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort analytic study using secondary data from medical records of HIV patients from January 2015-December 2017. The samples were 34 HIV/AIDS patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, selected by consecutive technique sampling. Descriptive statistical analysis was used for demographic data. Kaplan Meier's statistical analysis was used for endurance or survival tests. The difference was considered statistically significant if p<0.05. Results: The most opportunistic infections found were diarrhea in 265 subjects (55.67%), followed by toxoplasmosis in 159 subjects (33.40%), oral candidiasis 141 subjects (29.62%), CMV 78 subjects (16.39%), pneumonia 63 subjects (13.24%), sepsis 62 subjects (13.03%), PCP 45 subjects (9.45%), hepatitis B 38 subjects (7.98%), chlamydia 24 subjects (5.04%), hepatitis C 14 subjects (2, 94%), Herpes zoster 11 subjects (2.31%), lymphadenopathy 4 subjects (0.84%), and the least common were NHL 1 subject (0.21%) and Penicilosis 1 subject (0.21%). Conclusion: The HIV patients’ survival rates are different based on the number of opportunistic infections. According to the order, the most common opportunistic infections were diarrhea, toxoplasmosis, and oral candidiasis. Keywords: HIV/AIDS, opportunistic infections, oral candidiasis, toxoplasmosis, diarrhea.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the dentists’ knowledge and practice regarding HIV positive individuals’ oral care.Methods Dentists from Rio de Janeiro State (n = 242) answered an electronic questionnaire on biosafety procedures, oral manifestations of AIDS, and knowledge of HIV infection. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and t tests.Results From the 14 oral manifestations investigated, oral candidiasis, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, and hairy leucoplakia were more associated with HIV, with no differences between the responses from men and women. Above 85% of the participants would be concerned about becoming infected with HIV after a needle/ sharp object injury and more than 80% them were willing to be tested for HIV. However, significantly more women (98.8%), compared to men (91.3%), said they knew that HIV/ AIDS patients can contaminate dental care professionals, p = 0.007. There was a significant difference in the answers for the questions: “Are there special dental clinics for treatment of HIV/AIDS patients in Brazil?” (p = 0.044), and “Do the negative HIV tests surely indicate that the persons are free of viruses?” (p = 0.005). Significant differences between men and women were also observed regarding use of disposable mask (p = 0.01), and cap (p < 0.0001).Conclusion Most dentists who participated in the study presented a good knowledge on the care of HIV/ AIDS individuals, including biosafety protocols and in terms of the oral manifestations commonly associated to AIDS.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Candida albicans is a local commensal flora of the oral cavity, with opportunistic nature and often causes oral candidiasis in HIV/AIDS patients. Since long time, Mahkota Dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa) known of having efficacy treat various disease traditionally. The purpose of this study was to determine the activity test of Phaleria macrocarpa leaves extract against Candida albicans from HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: Experimental laboratory with samples colonies of the Candida albicans fungus obtained from patients with HIV/AIDS at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Research conducted during January-March 2016 in Microbiology and Chemistry Laboratory of Kopertis Region X, Microbiology Laboratory of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, and Microbiology Laboratory of Siti Rahmah Islamic Hospital, Padang, West Sumatra. Data analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The concentration of the Phaleria Macrocarpa leaves extract used in this study was 10, 20, 40 and 80%. Inhibition zone average value obtained 0,00 mm, means no inhibition zone, 9.217 mm and 18.017 mm with sig = 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion: The higher level of the Phaleria macrocarpa leaves extract concentration, the higher inhibition zone diameter against Candida albicans, with the highest in concentration 80%.Keywords: Mahkota Dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa) leaves extract, Candida albicans, HIV/AIDS
