Abstract
Objective: To describe oral manifestations in immunocompromised patients with HIV. Methods: This is a Literature Review where searches for scientific articles were carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) databases, whose inclusion criterion was scientific articles performed in Brazil, in Portuguese, which were published from 2009 to 2020. Results: In this literature review, it was possible to show that the main oral lesions related to HIV constitute oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, Kaposi's sarcoma and necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis associated with HIV, in addition to other recurrent ulcerations. This study demonstrates in detail the forms of treatment for each oral manifestation mentioned above. Final considerations: Infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a pandemic characterized by changes in the immune system where progressive depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes is observed, which promotes the appearance of opportunistic infections, where oral manifestations come from the appearance of these infections and may signal immunosuppression in HIV-infected individuals.
