Abstract
An understanding of three areas of law—antidiscrimination, workplace safety, and privacy and confidentiality—is helpful to dentists in meeting their responsibilities to treat HIV-infected individuals. This understanding also will assist in establishing a practice atmosphere in which HIV-infected patients will feel comfortable enough to fully disclose their condition and discuss treatment options with the care provider.
