[Survey on HIV and the control of infection].
During FDI World Dental Congress 1990, field specialists set up a scientific question form to obtain specific information about hygiene procedures in dental offices, knowledge about oral lesions in HIV infection and attitude against HIV infected patients. 540 Belgian dentists replied the question forms correctly. In general, there are no big differences between male and female. Younger dentists seem to be more hygiene minded than older colleagues. But more important is the discrepancy between the risk level and the use of specific hygiene procedures, and the knowledge about specific HIV associated oral pathology.
