What do i do about extra saliva and mucus from hiv?

Not clear: I am not aware that HIV causes what you complain of. Extra mucus can be caused by asthma and chronic bronchitis.

See your doctor: Dry mouth causes decay.It is highly likely that the cocktail of medications you are taking are reducing your salivary flow, and as a result the usually thicker saliva produced in certain salivary glads is not moist enough and not being diluted enough for normal comfort. Have your dentists and your doctor discuss your case together and see if there is a different regime that works better for you. Neil mcleod dds dentistry that lasts - quality that counts.
