Dentists' attitudes toward the treatment of HIV-positive patients



ME Bennett, RJ Weyant, JM Wallisch, and G Green
University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, Department of Dental Behavioral Science 15261, USA.

The authors studied the attitudes of 1,000 U.S. dentists toward the treatment of HIV-positive patients. Using a random-sample mail survey, they measured dentists' professional attitudes toward treating HIV/AIDS patients, fear of contagion and negative emotions toward HIV-positive patients. The results indicate that 68 percent of the respondents would treat an HIV-positive patient, even if the possibility for a legitimate referral exists.
