To this end, A transversal study with a quantitative approach, developed August to December 2009 with PLWHA who were accompanying us infectious disease clinics of a university hospital (HUWC) and Medical Specialties Center José de Alencar (CEMJA). We collected Data on the clinical and laboratory such persons, on conditions sociodemographic, utilization of dental services and the conditions of oral health of this population. The study included 173 patients; 72.3% male and 27.7% female, with a mean age of 36.4 years. Of these, 50.9% (88/173) said they had not yet consulted with a dentist after HIV infection and 52.6% (91/173) of participants said not disclose their HIV status to the dentist before a treatment dentistry. The study also showed that searching for dental care public services (PR: 2.39, 95% CI 1.23 to 4.16, p <0.001) and reveal the condition serology for the dentist (PR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.03 - 4.31, p <0.001) were significantly associated with having difficulty in accessing these services. There was a high prevalence (61.3%), periodontal disease (87.3%) and changes in oral mucosa (12.7%) in this population. It was evident that there is no statistically significant association between caries and immunological conditions of seropositive patients (p> 0.05). However, the presence of changes in oral mucosa was associated statistically significant with low CD4 count (PR: 4.20; 95% CI: 1.74 to 10.13, p <0.001) and high levels of plasma viral load (PR: 4.74; 95% CI: 2.11 to 10.67, p <0.001).
