摘要
Of 369 registered dentists in Fars province in Iran, 309 ( 83.7%) responded to a survey regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV) infection. The level of knowledge was low and was correlated with years in practice, hours worked per week, and whether additional work in a governmental dental office was performed; only the last was significantly associated with adherence to relevant infection control recommendations.
