The knowledge and attitudes of dental patients in the UK and Hong Kong towards aspects of cross-infection control have been surveyed. Almost all patients expected dentists to wear protective gloves but only 73% and 40% expected dental staff to wear protective face masks and spectacles respectively. Most patients were aware that such measures were for the benefit of both dental staff and patients. Just over 50% of patients believed that they could contact HIV from an HIV-infected dentist. UK and Cantonese patients had generally similar attitudes to cross-infection protection, but the latter were positively influenced by the routine use of masks and spectacles and were more concerned about HIV transmission than UK patients.
对英国和香港牙科患者在交叉感染控制方面的知识和态度进行了调查。几乎所有患者都期望牙医戴防护手套，但分别只有73%和40%的患者期望牙科工作人员戴防护面罩和眼镜。大多数患者意识到这些措施对牙科工作人员和患者都有益。略多于50%的患者认为他们可能会从感染艾滋病毒的牙医那里感染艾滋病毒。英国患者和说粤语的患者在交叉感染防护方面的态度总体相似，但后者受到日常使用口罩和眼镜的积极影响，并且比英国患者更担心艾滋病毒传播。
