Abstract

Dentists and dental students have an ethical responsibility to provide treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, since oral lesions are common to occur in HIV patients. The purpose of this paper was to present a systematic review of current published literature regarding the basic medical knowledge of HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) among dentists and dental students. HIV infection has a high-rate of morbidity and mortality, and this disease is a devastating public health issue. A true understanding of HIV/AIDS is still lacking in developing countries. Among dentist 69.8% reported that absence of knowledge was their main concern in treating HIV patients. High-risk category for cross-contamination occurs in dentists and dental students. Inadequate knowledge of transmission process, diagnosis, treatment, and ignorance about the disease has led to a fear and HIV phobia. Negative attitude and willingness to treat HIV patients are influenced by lack of knowledge. The positive result in providing care for HIV patients has been proven through appropriate training of dentists in terms of HIV patient care in clinical experience. The knowledge and practice of dentists and dental students regarding the disease are strengthened by an innovative education. Knowledge of HIV/AIDS and positive attitude towards people with HIV/AIDS are crucial for dental students. There is a need for continued medical education for dentists and dental students on issues related to HIV infection. HIV AIDS Rev 2020; 19, 1: 1-7 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2020.93236

牙医和牙科学生在艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的医学教育的关键作用:系统审查
牙医和牙科学生有道德责任为人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)患者提供治疗,因为口腔病变在HIV患者中很常见。本文的目的是对目前已发表的关于牙医和牙科学生对艾滋病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)的基本医学知识的文献进行系统回顾。艾滋病毒感染具有很高的发病率和死亡率,这种疾病是一个破坏性的公共卫生问题。发展中国家仍然缺乏对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的真正了解。69.8%的牙医表示,缺乏知识是他们治疗爱滋病患者的主要顾虑。交叉污染的高危人群是牙医和牙科学生。对传播过程、诊断、治疗的不充分了解和对疾病的无知导致了恐惧和艾滋病毒恐惧症。对艾滋病患者治疗的消极态度和意愿受到知识缺乏的影响。通过在临床经验方面对牙医进行适当的艾滋病毒患者护理培训,证明了为艾滋病毒患者提供护理的积极结果。通过创新教育,牙医和牙科学生对该疾病的知识和实践得到加强。对牙科学生来说,了解爱滋病知识和积极对待爱滋病人是很重要的。有必要继续对牙医和牙科学生进行有关艾滋病毒感染问题的医学教育。艾滋病Rev 2020;DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2020.93236
