Introduction: Among the health conditions with potential negative effect on quality of life of individuals living with HIV are the oral health problems. Objective: To observe the oral health conditions and its impact on quality of life of individuals 1-18 years of age living with HIV at follow-up in the health institutions in the region of Associação dos Municípios da Região de Laguna (AMUREL). Methods: A cross-sectional study involving all individuals at follow-up (n = 36) was carried out. Individual interviews were conducted with validated questionnaires to assess quality of life for each age group of study: ECOHIS; CPQ8-10; CPQ11-14 and OHIP. Oral clinical examination was performed to evaluate the oral health conditions related to caries and treatment needs, gingival alterations and stomatological changes associated with HIV. Analysis of medical records was performed to search for data related to the clinical history of infection. Studies of association between frequent/very frequent impacts in the quality of life related to oral health and independent variables were performed through chisquare test or Fisher exact test with p<0,05 considered statistically significant. Results: The study included 29 subjects. The prevalence of frequent/very frequent impacts in quality of life related to oral health was 69.0%. Caries prevalence was 75.9%. The gingival alterations were present in 20.7%. Treatment needs were present in 72.4% of participants. Diseases associated with HIV present in 55.2% of cases. The most common are herpes simplex, followed by pneumonia. The variables that were statistically associated with the prevalence of frequent/very frequent impacts in quality of life related to oral health were treatment needs and age above 12 years. Conclusion: High prevalence of caries and treatment needs were found. Individuals presenting treatment needs and those over 12 years of age reported a statistically higher frequency of frequent/very frequent impacts in quality of life related to oral health.
