A stratified random sample of 1,351 general practitioners in the continental United States was surveyed to determine dentists' attitudes relevant to treating AIDS/HIV+ patients and knowledge regarding the transmission of HIV infection. Survey results were analyzed nationally and by practice locale: high HIV+ prevalence urban areas, other urban areas, rural areas. While there are differences in fear-related HIV attitudes among GPs in the three locales, they are not present in attitude toward willingness to treat and knowledge of AIDS transmission. For dentistry, such findings in large part refute the National Commission on AIDS charges regarding the treatment of AIDS in rural America.
对美国大陆1351名全科医生进行了分层随机抽样调查，以确定牙医对治疗艾滋病/艾滋病毒阳性患者的态度以及对艾滋病毒感染传播的了解情况。调查结果在全国范围内以及按执业地区进行了分析：艾滋病毒阳性率高的城市地区、其他城市地区、农村地区。虽然三个地区的全科医生在与恐惧相关的艾滋病毒态度上存在差异，但在治疗意愿和艾滋病传播知识的态度上并无差异。对于牙科行业而言，这些调查结果在很大程度上驳斥了国家艾滋病委员会对美国农村地区艾滋病治疗情况的指控。
