 AB    Gingival and periodontal involvement has been described in individuals
       with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The manifestations
       often include erythematous gingivitis, necrotizing gingivitis, and
       periodontal involvement characterized by rampant loss of bone and soft
       tissue, resulting in recession without the formation of periodontal
       pockets. We present cases of HIV-associated periodontitis (HIV-P) in
       which advanced periodontal pocket formation was present. Periodontal
       disease may show a broad range of severity in patients with various T4
       helper cell counts.
