Proviral HIV-1 DNA in gingival crevicular fluid of HIV-1-infected patients in various stages of HIV diseaseMatičič, Mojca ...The oral cavity is rarely reported to be a site of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission, despite detectable virus in saliva and relatively frequent prevalence of periodontal disease in ... HIV-infected persons yielding increased exertion of mononuclear-cell-enriched gingival fluid. To search for possible sources of HIV in saliva, and using the polymerase chain-reaction technique, we sought the presence and shedding patterns of proviral HIV-1 DNA in gingival crevicular fluid in a group od patients previously determined as HIV-1-seropositive. Periodontal status at the collection sites was monitored by several clinical parameters, including Plaque Index, Gingival Index, probing depth, and clinical attachment loss. Gingival crevicular fluid sampleswere collected by means of paper points. Proviral HIV-1 DNA was detected in the gingival fluid of 17 out of 35 HIV-1-infected patients. Its detection correlated significantly with higher plasm HIV-1 RNA viral load (p =0.03) and not with peripheral blood CD4+ cell count, the presence of blood ingingival fluid. or oral lesions. There was a significant correlation betweenclinical attachment loss at the sites of fluid collection and plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (p = 0.002), and borderline correlation between the latter and probing depth (p = 0.54) in the group of patients harboring proviral HIV-1 DNA in gingival crevicular fluid. The results of our study suggest that mononuclear cells present in gingival crevicular fluid and harboring proviral HIV-1 DNA could respresent a potential source of HIV-1 in the presence of absence of local bleeding, espcially in persons with advanced HIV infection and increased loss of clinical attachment.Source: Journal of dental research. - ISSN 0022-0345 (Letn. 79, št. 7, 2000, str. 1496-1501)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2000Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 12302553
