Background: The main aim of this study was to find out the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations in a selected regional population of 100 HIV infected patients, to identify the commoner ENT manifestations among them and to make these manifestations, a guide for regional ENT surgeons, to diagnose HIV/AIDS patients early and to treat them accordingly.Methods: The study was a prospective study which was conducted for a period of five years which included 100 HIV seropositive patients, among the patients attending the Outpatient Department of the Otorhinolaryngology and anti-retroviral therapy centre across Government Hospitals in Tamil Nadu according to our inclusion or exclusion criteria. Detailed ENT clinical examination as well as laboratory investigations were carried out to evaluate the nature of ENT presentations of HIV infection. Results: Out of the 100 HIV positive patients, who had some form of ENT symptoms, the most common ENT manifestation in HIV/AIDS was oral candidiasis (40%) followed by cervical lymphadenopathy (30%). Other common manifestations are oral herpes simplex and sensorineural hearing loss. Less common manifestations are chronic sinusitis, tuberculous laryngitis, chronic otitis media, oral hairy leukoplakia, nasal polyps and Kaposi’s sarcoma. Oral candidiasis, chronic/recurrent mucocutaneous herpes simplex, oral hairy leukoplakia and Kaposi’s sarcoma are the AIDS defining illnesses. Oral hairy leukoplakia, is pathognomonic of HIV infection.Conclusions: These manifestations help ENT surgeons, to recognize HIV/AIDS patients from the specific ENT lesions occurring in them, for early diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

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.

Hairy Leukoplakia

Several opportunistic infections associated with immunosuppression are noted to occur secondary to an altered relationship between host and organism. In relation to diminished host immunologic defenses, associated commensal organisms may evolve to a pathogen state. Candidiasis. a common oral marker disease reflective of immunosuppression, results from dysfunction of complex cellular interactions keyed by depressed T-cell activity or function. Certain viral infections may also serve as probable markers of immunosuppression. One such infection is typified by the development of oral hairy leukoplakia, a condition highly correlated to HIV infection in most, but not all, patients. Detection of Epstein-Barr virus particles and subsequent molecular analytic verification of such and the absence of other potential viral candidates, such as papilloma and human immunodeficiency viruses, have led to a general acceptance of this virus as the cause of this condition.

This study ascertained the awareness, acceptance and attitude on HIV/AIDS of students in a university. The findings served as basis for a proposed HIV/AIDS education program. This study employed the mixed method design. It was conducted at UCLM, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines. Quantitatively, the study utilized 400 students who visited the medical clinic from July 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018. The survey consists of 50 items, cafeteria questionnaire. Qualitatively, ten informants were interviewed for one hour, in four consecutive Saturdays. Using an unstructured interview, common themes that emerged from the one-on-one interview was analyzed.Findings revealed that majority of the respondents were male (74.5%), 18 to 20 years old (78%), from the College of Marine Transportation (43.5%), 1st year students (56%), and Roman Catholics (98%). In terms of level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS, the table shows that majority of the respondents have excellent knowledge on this disease condition. But based on the item analysis, the following questions had the highest number of wrong answers: confirmatory test for HIV/AIDS (80.5%); phase where symptoms are evident such as rash, cough, malaise, night sweats and lymphadenopathy (76.5%); phase with symptoms including lymphadenopathy, diarrhea, oral candidiasis, weight loss, fatigue, skin rash and fever (65%); phase when test is positive for HIV antigens but no symptoms (64%); and continent with the most number of HIV infections (61%). Most of these questions pertain to the pathophysiology of the disease. Although all ten informants confirmed that they will accept a person living with HIV, if they meet one, there is disparity between this acceptance and the way they respond to a scenario. In the scenario where they are eating with the PLWHIV, most of the informants were hesitant to get food from trays where the PLWHIV got his food. Misconceptions were also noted regarding HIV as a disease condition. (Recommended citation: This study ascertained the awareness, acceptance and attitude on HIV/AIDS of students in a university.

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.
