The aims of the study were to study Danish dentists' attitudes and behavior with regard to providing dental care to HIV-infected persons and to look for explanatory variables for the dentists' attitudes and behavior. Two hundred and twenty-eight Danish dentists responded to a questionnaire on dental treatment of HIV-infected patients and related problems (response rate: 91.2%). The dentists' attitudes differed a great deal from the current national policy as to where HIV-infected patients should be treated and with regard to the possibility of being tested for HIV anonymously. 64% of the dentists favored the idea of referral of HIV-infected patients to special dental clinics for routine dental treatment, and 93% disapproved of the idea that infected individuals themselves should decide whether they wish to inform their dentist or doctor of seropositivity. Older dentists were more reluctant to treat HIV-infected individuals than younger. Other differences with regard to a number of demographic variables were not found. No difference in attitude towards HIV-infected persons was found when compared to that towards HBV-infected individuals. The reluctance towards treatment of HIV-infected persons was present irrespective of any subsidy for an extra cost for treatment of HIV-infected patients.
该研究的目的是调查丹麦牙医在为艾滋病毒感染者提供牙科护理方面的态度和行为，并寻找影响牙医态度和行为的解释变量。228名丹麦牙医回复了一份关于艾滋病毒感染患者牙科治疗及相关问题的问卷（回复率：91.2%）。在艾滋病毒感染者应在何处接受治疗以及是否可以匿名进行艾滋病毒检测方面，牙医的态度与当前国家政策有很大差异。64%的牙医赞成将艾滋病毒感染者转诊至特殊牙科诊所进行常规牙科治疗，93%的牙医不赞成感染者自己决定是否告知牙医或医生其血清反应阳性。年长的牙医比年轻的牙医更不愿意治疗艾滋病毒感染者。未发现其他一些人口统计学变量方面的差异。与对乙肝感染者的态度相比，对艾滋病毒感染者的态度没有差异。无论是否有补贴用于支付治疗艾滋病毒感染患者的额外费用，对治疗艾滋病毒感染者的抵触情绪都存在。
