HIV in children and oral facts
Aug 16, 1999

I study dentistry in the University of Costa Rica. I am doing an assignment for my Oral patology class about AIDS in children. I would like to get as much the information as possible, at least I would like to know all the info about how the virus attacks children(+ mother and others) and all the oral consequences and oral signs that can help to make an HIV medical diagnosis. Thank you!! You´ll be very helpful

Other sites about children & AIDS info would be useful. Thanks.
