Opportunistic fungal infections account for a significant amount of morbidity associated with HIV disease. Candidiasis is the most common oral opportunistic infection affecting people with HIV infection or AIDS. It is considered as an important marker of immune suppression and may be the initial manifestation of the disease in about 10% of HIV-infected adults. We report a case of an apparently healthy 45-year-old male with oral candidiasis which proved to be the first indicator of HIV infection.


Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has emerged as a global crisis since its discovery in the summer of 1981 in the United States. Defective cellular immunity associated with AIDS may place the infected person at risk for a variety of opportunistic infections. Oral candidiasis is one of the most common, treatable oral mucosal infections seen in persons with HIV or AIDS.

The infection is caused by Candida albicans, a dimorphic fungal organism that is typically present in the oral cavity in a nonpathogenic state in about one-half of healthy individuals but under favorable conditions, has the ability to transform into a pathogenic (disease causing) hyphal form. Conditions that favor this transformation include broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, corticosteroids, xerostomia, immune dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, nutritional deficiencies, or the presence of removable prostheses [.

And to think we stick our tongues in each others mouths, and other places, during those hot and heavy moments of affection and love making..

I can handle a lot of truly gross shit; this is not one of them. No, just fucking no. Stop sticking things in your mouth that do not belong there! And if you just can't help yourself then god have mercy on your nasty little soul!!
