The article reports on the continuing epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in 1998. It presents data and information on the trends of these infections in both the U.S. and Canada which clearly report of a substantial increase in future demands for healthcare in these areas. The dental provider is reportedly required to be abreast of the changing frequency, severity and the nature of the oral manifestations associated with AIDS as well as the effects of anti-retroviral therapy.
