“…One of the few resource-poor countries to give insight into the willingness of dentists to provide care to HIVinfected patients is Brazil, where, despite there being an increase in dentists willing to treat HIV-infected patients, 60% remained concerned about providing care (Sposto et al, 1994;Jorge et al, 1996;Daniel et al, 2004). In South Africa, only 42% of dentists were willing to treat patients who were HIVinfected (Naidoo, 1997).…”

The workshop considered five questions reviewing the identification of international oral health care needs of children and adults, and the management of oral diseases in resource-poor countries: (1) What is the role of the dental profession in the management of the HIV-infected individual? (2) Identifying health care needs-What are the epidemiology and disparities of HIV-associated oral lesions in children from different continents? (3) How effective is HIV treatment in controlling oral diseases? (4) Could we develop basic inexpensive oral and dental care protocols for economically deprived HIV-infected patients? and (5) What is the best method of arranging resources to meet the oral health care needs of people with HIV disease? The consensus of the workshop participants was that there is a need to re-target research efforts to non-established market economy countries and prioritize research in these regions to children with HIV disease. It will be important to assess commonalities and variations in oral health needs across geographical and cultural boundaries, and research efforts should be centralized in resource-poor countries to support multi-center longitudinal standardized studies. It is essential that oral health research be integrated into other health care research programs, to make these research priorities and public health initiatives feasible.

“…Ainda nos dias atuais, artigos da literatura 2,7,10 analisando a rotina na clínica odontológica continuam indicando o medo de cirurgiões-dentistas e estudantes de Odontologia em tratarem pacientes HIV+, sendo o motivo mais freqüente na recusa de pacientes 5,18,20,22 . Para que ocorram mudanças neste comportamento os aspectos informativos e educacionais, abrangendo os conhecimentos sobre a infecção pelo HIV, devem ser prioritários na formação dos estudantes de Odontologia, para que se tornem profissionais qualificados 11,20 .…”

“…Por outro lado, cirurgiões-dentistas que possuem atividades em seu consultório particular têm atitudes negativas, quando comparados com cirurgiões-dentistas que atuam também no setor público, quanto ao tratamento de pacientes HIV+ 7,22 . Em estudo realizado na Universidade Nacional Autónoma de México 18 82,9% dos entrevistados responderam ter consciência que é um dever ético tratar de pacientes HIV+, porém 32,9% disseram que não atenderiam um paciente se soubessem que este é portador do vírus.…”

conhecimento sobre a infecção HIV é essencial aos profissionais de odontologia para que estejam preparados quanto ao uso das medidas de controle da infecção cruzada. A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar os conhecimentos gerais e específicos dos alunos de graduação da FOAr-UNESP quanto à infecção HIV, antes e após assistirem a uma palestra informativa. Foram entregues na 1 a etapa 160 questionários e recolhidos posteriormente. Na 2 a etapa, três meses depois, foi ministrada a palestra sobre a infecção HIV com duração de 15 min e entregues 160 questionários para os mesmos alunos e recolhidos posteriormente. O índice total de acerto nos questionários preenchidos antes da palestra foi de 49% e de erro de 45,86%. Após a palestra o índice de acerto foi de 54,4% e de erro 40,76%. Concluímos que, mesmo após a palestra informativa, os estudantes apresentaram um índice de erro alto e pouca assimilação sobre o assunto, indicando que, apenas 15 minutos de palestra não foram suficientes para uma modificação significante no conhecimento dos estudantes. Assim, os alunos de graduação necessitam de um reforço nos conhecimentos sobre a infecção HIV, envolvendo atualização contínua dos aspectos informativos.

“…[1718] In the studies conducted in various countries,[17181920] although satisfactory knowledge level among the study participants was there, a stigma was reported regarding the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients. Studies done in South Africa, Brazil, Japan, and Sudan demonstrated that dental students had insufficient knowledge regarding HIV, its mode of transmission, and management of HIV positive patients.…”
