Abstract(s)
Nos anos que se seguiram ao início da infeção por VIH, o foco foi a investigação terapêutica. Desde a introdução da terapia anti-retroviral em 1996, a mortalidade e morbilidade relacionadas com o VIH caíram drasticamente. Contudo, a epidemia permanece muito ativa, o que demonstra a necessidade de uma mudança de paradigma em termos de testes e prevenção.
Os cuidados de saúde orais estão entre as mais importantes necessidades não satisfeitas das pessoas que vivem com VIH/SIDA, podendo dever-se às barreiras que enfrentam no acesso aos cuidados de saúde, tais como o estigma e o medo de discriminação. As pessoas que vivem com o VIH têm de facto relatado experiências negativas em consultórios dentários e com pessoal dentário. No entanto, há uma falta de estudos recentes e aprofundados que captem as perspectivas atuais das pessoas que vivem com VIH no que diz respeito ao acesso aos serviços dentários.
Apesar dos avanços em quase todas as áreas de investigação do VIH e da SIDA, a doença é ainda mal compreendida.
As lesões orais são comuns e variadas nas pessoas infectadas por VIH e estão entre os primeiros sintomas da infeção. Além disso, candidíase, leucoplasia pilosa oral, sarcoma de Kaposi afetam fortemente o prognóstico da progressão da infeção.
In the years following the onset of HIV infection, the focus was on therapeutic research. Since the introduction of the antiretroviral therapy in 1996, HIV-related mortality and morbidity have fallen sharply. However, the epidemic remains very active, demonstrating the need for a paradigm shift in terms of testing and prevention. Oral health care is among the most important unmet needs of people living with HIV/AIDS, which may be due to the barriers they face in accessing health care, such as stigma and fear of discrimination. People living with HIV have indeed reported negative experiences in dental offices and with dental staff. However, there is a lack of recent, in-depth studies that capture the current perspectives of people living with HIV regarding access to dental services. Despite advances in almost all areas of HIV and AIDS research, the disease is still poorly understood. Oral lesions are common and diverse in HIV-infected individuals and are among the first symptoms of infection. In addition, candidiasis, oral hairy leukoplakia, Kaposi’s sarcoma strongly affect the prognosis of the progression of the infection.
