Abstract
Sao Paulo has a high incidence of AIDS. However many dentists are concerned about providing care for patients with AIDS/HIV. The reluctance of dentists to care for these patients is a matter of concern mostly because they are the health care providers who could easily detect the first signs and also observe the progression of the HIV infection. We sought to address the deficiencies in our community regarding the acceptance of HIV-infected patients. A self-administered survey questionnaire was given to graduate dental students (professors postgraduate students and fellows) and undergraduates working in the clinics of a dental school in Sao Paulo Brazil.
