A Qualitative Study of Patients’ Attitudes toward HIV Testing in the Dental Setting
An estimated 1.1 million people in the USA are living with HIV/AIDS. Nearly 200,000 of these individuals do not know that they are infected. In 2006, the CDC recommended that all healthcare providers routinely offer HIV screening to adolescent and adult patients.

However, little is known about the feasibility and acceptability of this type of innovative practice.
