Oral lesions were included in some of the first descriptions of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and it has become clear in the ensuing years that these lesions may represent some of the earliest signs of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), may be of prognostic significance in the subsequent development of AIDS, and may, if not treated, produce significant morbidity. Understanding oral lesions may shed light on the other manifestations of HIV disease. Oral examination is an important part of any physical examination, and nowhere is this more important than in the case of suspected HIV infection.
口腔病变包含在对获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）的一些最早描述中，在随后的几年里，很明显这些病变可能代表人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染的一些最早迹象，在艾滋病的后续发展中可能具有预后意义，并且如果不进行治疗，可能会产生严重的发病率。了解口腔病变可能有助于揭示HIV疾病的其他表现。口腔检查是任何体格检查的重要组成部分，在疑似HIV感染的情况下，这一点尤为重要。
