 AB    The prevalence of periodontal diseases in HIV-infected infected persons
       is unresolved. While numerous reports have been published, the data are
       conflicting in part due to different populations studied, lack of
       consensus criteria for disease, study location, and biased samples. This
       presentation will be a collation of information available for the
       diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS-associated periodontal diseases. The
       use of HIV is no longer accepted as a diagnostic designation. Instead,
       the diagnostic categories of atypical gingivitis (erythematous gingival
       banding), necrotizing gingivitis, necrotizing periodontitis, and
       necrotizing stomatitis and distinguishing characteristics will be
       presented. It is essential that a distinction be made between those
       periodontal lesions that may occur in seropositive and seronegative
       individuals and those which appear to have more specific signs and
       symptoms associated with HIV infection and with immunosuppression in
       general. A simplified algorithm has been developed to help differentiate
       between periodontal diseases specific to the HIV-positive individual and
       those in the general population. Additionally, the grid may also be used
       to distinguish the different periodontal diseases known to be associated
       with HIV infection.
