Abstract
HIV-1 infection may involve saliva and the salivary glands. The virus may be recovered from the mouth and anti-viral antibodies are found in saliva. Salivary dysfunction after infection ranges from xerostomia to a Sjogren's syndrome-like condition with persistent glandular enlargement and marked secretory hypofunction.Entities:
