The impact of HIV and AIDS on dentistry in the next decade
Abstract
There is no end in sight for the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Therefore, with or without knowledge of their own serologic status, HIV-infected patients will be seeking dental care in increasing numbers in the decade ahead. Additionally, the diagnosis and management of frequently occurring HIV-associated oral lesions will add to dental responsibilities. By following infectious disease guidelines for blood-borne pathogens, dental clinicians, office workers and patients will have an extremely low risk for HIV transmission.
