摘要: Workshop participants discussed: the role of HIV subtypes in disease; treatment oral candidiasis; relationship between and among viral load, CD4+ counts, candidiasis hairy leukoplakia, pigmentation; development a reliable index to predict disease progression. Regarding HIV, literature revealed that Type I (HIV-I), particular group M, is involved majority (90%) documented infections, groups N O lesser extent. Viral envelope diversity led subclassification virus into nine subtypes, or clades—A–D, F-H, J, K—each dominating different geographical areas. HIV-2, currently occurring mostly West Africa, appears be less virulent. No evidence could produced any direct impact type, subtype, clade on lesions, believed further research not feasible. Oral patients from resource-poor countries should prevented. When condition does occur, it treated un...
