Abstract
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.Entities:
