This paper, by means of a quality framework, reviews health services research in relation to people with HIV infection. The relevance of oral health care services to people's needs is considered in terms of the goal of health services to reduce the burden of disease on the everyday life of the population. Dental services may therefore have a role in primary prevention in the HIV epidemic, passing on information about HIV and promoting health through the early diagnosis and treatment of oral disease. Effectiveness research of oral health care in HIV assesses the usefulness of oral diagnosis, whether care is safe, and whether treatment is clinically effective. Few data are available on the efficiency of services. People with HIV still have problems accessing dental care, due to the volume of care available in relation to their need and acceptability of care. Access problems in the US are compounded by social inequality. Health services research data are particularly sparse in resource-poor countries, and there is a need to translate the available information into treatment guidelines appropriate to these settings. The research community and funding agencies should place greater emphasis on the quality of oral health services for people with HIV.

“…11 Eliciting student attitudes about HIV/AIDS provides a useful opportunity for teaching and discussion and should be an integral part of the HIV curriculum. 12 The attachment at the Royal Free and University College Medical school provides students with the opportunity to gain clinical exposure in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We wanted to determine student attitudes towards current HIV issues before and after the course.…”

The aim of the study was to determine medical student attitudes towards HIV-related issues, to examine if the following student factors can affect attitudes: gender, perception of HIV infectivity, exposure to an HIV+ individual, career intent and attending a clinical attachment. A self-administered questionnaire was given to students at the beginning and end of a clinical attachment. Of the 240 questionnaires handed out at the beginning of the attachment, 183 (76%) were completed. Students generally expressed positive attitudes towards people with HIV. Female students and individuals who had considered working in a related specialty or had met an HIV+ person expressed more patient-centred attitudes in some of their responses. Following the course, 72 questionnaires were returned. Responses to several of the attitudinal statements had changed significantly. Medical students generally have enlightened attitudes towards HIV-related issues, which may be affected by student factors and attending a clinical attachment.
