Abstract:
The Global Programme on AIDS monitors this epidemic in all countries that report cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome to the World Health Organization. The present trends show a dramatic increase in the heterosexual distribution in Africa, Thailand, and some Latin American countries. According to the World Health Organization's prediction, about 4 million infants will have been born to HIV-infected women by the year 2000. Because many HIV-infected patients will have oral manifestations, there is a great challenge to the dental profession.
