title: [Dentists' knowledge and attitudes on HIV infection].
abstract: A questionnaire was given out to a group of 124 dentists in order to find out their level of knowledge of HIV infection. The answers show that dentists are reluctant to work with HIV-seropositive patients and that knowledge of control and diffusion of the disease is poor.
