CLINICAL PRACTICE

Oral health problems and use of dental services among HIV-infected adults. Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance Project Group



VA Greene, SY Chu, T Diaz, and B Schable
Surveillance Branch of the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta 30333, USA.

Between January and May 1994, a 14-question survey regarding oral symptoms and use of dental care services was added to a multistate interview project of adults infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Results indicate that there are disparities and perceived barriers among HIV-infected adults seeking and receiving dental care. Improved dental care services for all HIV-infected people should include better patient and provider awareness of HIV-related oral conditions, more-affordable treatment and expansion of dental insurance coverage.
