A cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study was conducted to identify age, sex and frequency of Stomatology urgencies and its relation to time of infection from HIV and of antiretroviral consumption drugs. Universe included 32 HIV/AIDS adult patients came with Stomatology urgencies in the "Yuri Gómez Reinoso" Teaching Clinic between January, 2008 and January, 2010. The 68.75 % corresponded to male sex, the 31.25 % aged from 31 to 40, the 125 % had recurrent aphthous stomatitis, the 21.8 % had acute dentoalveolar abscess and the 15.62 % had acute irreversible pulpitis and erythematous candidiasis, the 37.5 % had Xerostomia. The 46.87 % of patients with HIV from 6 to 10 years of diagnosed had urgencies. The 46.9 % had no of antiretroviral drugs consumption but the 53.1 % yes; these differences were not statistically significant (p= 0.8026). We conclude that in study patients there was predominance of male sex and age over 31 years; the urgency types: recurrent aphthous stomatitis, acute dentoalveolar abscess, irreversible pulpitis and erythematous candidiasis in decreasing order without differences between the urgency presence and antiretroviral drugs consumption.
