This study aimed to understand the oral hygiene habits and oral health status of young people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Henan province of China.
Randomized stratified cluster sampling strategy was used to select young people who were receiving highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HARRT) from 6 towns. A total of 104 participants were enrolled and divided into 2 groups, adolescence group and young adult group. By face-to-face oral interview and examination, well-trained dentists collected general information, oral hygiene habits and oral health status of the participants.
Fifty-eight of them were adolescence group and 46 of them were young adult group. In two groups, most of them brushed their teeth once a day (55.20%, 67.40%), and half of them basically brushed their teeth for 2 minutes (51.7%, 50.0%). Majority of participants did not use dental floss (93.1%,91.3%) and also never visited a dentist (81%,78.3%). One-third of participants had spontaneous bleeding, and about half of them had gingival bleeding when brushed their teeth. The most frequent mucosal disease was oral ulcers. Moreover, the prevalence of caries remained very high in both groups, which was 82.76% and 84.8%, respectively. Most of the participants in both groups had low education level and received less than 9 years of education (65.5%, 63%).
The participants had poor oral hygiene habits. The economic and education level may associate with the awareness of oral health and care.
本研究旨在了解中国河南省感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的年轻人的口腔卫生习惯和口腔健康状况。
采用随机分层整群抽样策略，从6个城镇中选取接受高效抗逆转录病毒治疗（HARRT）的年轻人。共招募了104名参与者，分为两组，青少年组和青年成人组。经过良好培训的牙医通过面对面的口腔访谈和检查，收集了参与者的一般信息、口腔卫生习惯和口腔健康状况。
其中58人为青少年组，46人为青年成人组。在两组中，大多数人每天刷牙一次（55.20%，67.40%），且一半的人基本刷牙2分钟（51.7%，50.0%）。大多数参与者不使用牙线（93.1%，91.3%），也从未看过牙医（81%，78.3%）。三分之一的参与者有自发性出血，约一半的人刷牙时牙龈出血。最常见的黏膜疾病是口腔溃疡。此外，两组的龋齿患病率仍然很高，分别为82.76%和84.8%。两组中的大多数参与者教育水平较低，接受的教育年限少于9年（65.5%，63%）。
参与者的口腔卫生习惯较差。经济和教育水平可能与口腔健康和护理意识有关。
