Abstract

Oral cavity is one of the manifestations that results from Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Some of these lesions are suggestive whilst others are specific. However, the oral candidiasis that was observed during HIV infection is specific in terms of its severity and resistance to the usual treatment. Therefore, it is important for all practitioners to know it well in order to be able to make the diagnosis and propose an adequate treatment. During HIV infection, 95% of HIV-positive people have one or more lesions in the oral cavity during their illness. Moreover, oral candidiasis is classified among these lesions. We will describe the different types of candidiasis and their treatment.
