Objectives: The authors have conducted a systematic review of oral manifestations of HIV from studies conducted
in Asia to establish the characteristics and prevalence of individual oral manifestations in Asia, and to assess the
direction of future research studies on oral manifestations of HIV in Asia.
Material and Methods: The electronic retrieval systems and databases searched for relevant articles were PubMed
[MEDLINE], EBSCO, and EMBASE. The search was for limited articles published in English or with an English
abstract and articles published during the period January 1995 to August 2014. The authors reached a final overall
sample of 39 studies that were conducted in Asia.
Results: The median population size among all studies was 312.7 patients. Oral candidiasis [OC] was the most
common oral manifestation [37.7%] in studies conducted in Asia. The overall prevalence of oral hairy leukoplakia
and melanotic hyperpigmentation was computed to be 10.1% and 22.8% respectively. Thailand and India are primarily countries with maximum research on oral manifestations.
Conclusions: The research on oral manifestations of HIV in Asia has to upgrade to more interventional and therapeutic studies rather than the contemporary cross- sectional epidemiological descriptive studies. The authors have
given suggestions and future directions for the implementation of clinical research of oral manifestations in HIV
patients.
