HIV infection and AIDS presents complex issues for all mankind. With every day that passes, 5000 more people worldwide become infected with the virus. Young people and adults alike need frank and clear information regarding how to protect themselves and others. Even though the vast majority of HIV infections are spread through sexual intercourse it is the health care provider and, in particular, the dental professional who is impacted by efforts to prevent the transmission of HIV. It is the obligation of every dentist to understand HIV infection and related HIV diseases. The dental professional should be familiar with the epidemiology of HIV, medical as well as oral manifestations of the disease, and legal and ethical considerations of this pandemic. This manuscript is intended only to be an overview of the worldwide crisis of the HIV pandemic and its impact on all of us as individuals as well as the dental profession.
艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病给全人类带来了复杂的问题。随着时间的推移，全球每天有5000多人感染这种病毒。年轻人和成年人都需要关于如何保护自己和他人的坦诚而清晰的信息。尽管绝大多数艾滋病毒感染是通过性交传播的，但医疗保健提供者，尤其是牙科专业人员，会受到预防艾滋病毒传播工作的影响。了解艾滋病毒感染及相关的艾滋病毒疾病是每位牙医的义务。牙科专业人员应该熟悉艾滋病毒的流行病学、该疾病的医学及口腔表现，以及这场大流行所涉及的法律和伦理考量。本手稿仅旨在概述艾滋病毒大流行的全球危机及其对我们每个人以及牙科行业的影响。
