US researchers investigating what affects oral disease among HIV sufferers have pinpointed changes in mouth bacteria. Although it is known that oral disease progresses rapidly among people who have HIV but the process is poorly understood. Through a one-year grant of almost $330,000 from the National Institutes of Health, researchers at the University of Florida […]

Oral disease occurs commonly and progresses rapidly among people who have HIV, but the process is poorly understood. Researchers suspect that the culprit is a change in the makeup of bacterial communities that live in the mouth. Through a one-year grant of almost $330,000 from the National Institutes of Health, researchers at the University of […]

Researchers from the University of Florida (UF) are using a one-year, $330,000 grant to try and identify the role of various pathogens in the progression of oral disease among people infected with HIV. “The hypothesis is that suppression of the immune system by HIV contributes to changes in the oral biota, which then contributes to […]
