Abstract

A self-complete questionnaire to assess satisfaction with dental care was administered to two groups of dental patients: men with asymptomatic HIV infection attending a dedicated dental clinic and men, presumed to be HIV negative, attending a general dental practice. Both settings were staffed by the same dentist. Men attending the dedicated clinic expressed satisfaction with the technical competence of their treatment and the affective behaviour of their dentist comparable with satisfaction expressed by participants at the general dental practice. However, men at the dedicated clinic expressed dissatisfaction with the availability of treatment. This may be related to the staffing level at the clinic. Men with asymptomatic HIV infection wanted more dentists who specialized in their needs and thought there was not enough information available on oral health.
