Conclusions
HIV in low- and middle-income countries.
Oral health education improved the oral care behaviors of children living with HIV in a resource-constrained setting. In addition, over time, improved oral hygiene outcomes were associated with improved overall health outcomes, such as viral load, BMI for age, and QOL, among children living with HIV. Therefore, oral interventions may be provided to improve the overall health of children living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries.
