The present study had the objective to establish a relationship between the pH of saliva and the index of dental caries in patients in the Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) program of the Regional Health of Loreto in 2014. The type of research was quantitative; the design was cross-sectional. The sample included 84 patients. The instrument used to identify pH of saliva was colour-changing pH paper, and the instrument used to determine level of dental caries was the Decayed-Missing-Filled (DMF) index. Both procedures were validated by expert opinion. The most important results that were found include the following: The highest percentage of patients that participated in the present study were between 25 and 29 years of age (61%), 59.5% men, the 38% of the study population did not complete secondary school, 37% were from the district of Iquitos, the 65.5% came to receive come to receive treatment with HAART for a period between 1 to 5 years and the 59.5% are Male. The present research was able to determine values of pH of saliva con a minimum value of 5 and a maximum of 8. However, the most prominent category was ACIDIC, followed by NEUTRAL and then BASIC. The level of DMF in the present study was 9.67, having a high percentage of decayed, followed by missing and then filled. The most prominent grade of immunosuppression was Grade 2 (200-500 lymphocytes cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4/µl) and the most prominent level of viral load was Grade I (<50 000 copies). It was concluded that a relationship exists between the level of pH of saliva and the level of dental caries en patients with HIV (p = 0.003), demonstrating that patients with a low level of pH of saliva have increased levels of dental caries.
