In the early stage of HIV infection there is disorder of the function of salivary glands, this affects the quality and quantity of spit during the course of the disease. Objective: To determine the Salivary Profile in patients with HIV infection with and within Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) and its association with its Immunosuppression Degree. Material and Methods: It was evaluated; the Salivary Profile by mean the evaluation of Symptoms of Salivary Hypofunction (Xerostomia, Dysphagia, Dysgeusia and Susceptibility to develop oral ulcers) through a survey, the Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate by mean Gravimetric Method, the Salivary ph by universal pH Tape, Salivary viscosity through the Ostwald Method, and the Immunosuppression Degree through the CD4/µl lymphocytes re-count; in 126 patients with HIV infection, 65 with HAART y 61 without HAART that attended to the Service of Infectious and Tropical Diseases of the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo – Perú, during the months of December 2008 and January 2009. Results: The Non - HAART patients presented a significantly higher percent of some Symptoms of Salivary Hypofunction: Xerostomia (P same .000), Dysgeusia (P same 0.051), Dysphagia (P same .001) and Susceptibility to develop oral ulcers (P same .000), as well as significantly higher values of Salivary viscosity (P same .000); nevertheless, they showed significantly lower results of the Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate (P same .000) and Salivary ph (P same .000) respect to HAART patients. On the other hand, the patients with a higher Degree of Immunosuppression presented a significantly higher percent of Symptoms of Salivary Hypofunction (P same .000) and Salivary Viscosity (P same .000), however, they also presented significantly lower values of the Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate (P same .000) and Salivary ph (P same .000) respect to lower Immunosuppression Degree patients. Conclusions: There is an alteration of the salivary profile in patient with HIV infection, which is significantly higher in Non - HAART patients and those who have a higher Immunosuppression Degree.
