Purpose

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the development of oral manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus infection in relationship to the onset of immunologic alterations and systemic symptoms in different risk groups: gay/bisexual men, male intravenous drug users, and female intravenous drug users.

II. Evaluate the immune and inflammatory response to periodontal and other microbial pathogens.

III. Evaluate the bacterial species infecting the oral cavity in patients in these risk groups.
