 AB    The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been detected in all body
       fluids. The presence and the detection of HIV virus in human saliva are
       reviewed. Modes of HIV transmission are discussed with particular
       reference to the possibility and risk of virus transmission via saliva.
       This risk is considered to be extremely low. The relevance of this
       information to the practising dentist is discussed and some practical
       suggestions in infection control are made.
