NCT ID NCT04645693

Summary

This study aimed to understand the connection between oral health and long-term health issues in people living with HIV. Researchers followed 227 adults with HIV on stable medication for about 2.5 years, checking their dental health, collecting samples, and measuring inflammation. The goal was to see if problems like gum disease or tooth decay contribute to ongoing inflammation and other health risks in this population.
