Introduction. Dentists' awareness of HIV-positive patients plays an important role in improving the quality of care for this group of patients. Objective: to assess the knowledge of practicing dentists about HIV-positive patients taking antiretroviral drugs. Materials and methods of the study. To achieve the goal of the study, the data obtained from an online survey of 181 doctors of dental specialties were analyzed. Statistical processing of the data was carried out using Microsoft Excel 2023 software. Results of the study. A large proportion (80.7%) of the surveyed dentists encounter HIV-positive patients at their appointments, 93.9% of the respondents know the difference between HIV and AIDS, but only 59.1% of them have heard/know about HAART drugs. According to 40.3% of the respondents, an HIV-positive patient taking HAART can transmit the virus to a doctor in an emergency situation, while 29.8% answered negatively and 29.8% do not know the answer to this question. More than 24% of dentists believe that HIV infection is transmitted through saliva. When an HIV-positive patient on therapy (HAART) is approached, a large proportion of dentists (50.8%) do not offer them routine procedures. 3.3% of dentists refused to admit an HIV-positive patient. 68.5% of respondents know what viral load is, but only 28.7% of dentists clarify its presence in a patient with HIV. 68.5% of dentists recommend HIV testing to their patients only in cases of atypical SOPS diseases. A patient was refused at the appointment stage or after counseling because of his HIV status in every 10th case. Conclusion. The vast majority of dentists are poorly informed about HIV infection and the drugs used to reduce viral load. We consider it necessary to recommend planning and conducting separate lecture sessions on HIV infection and the rules of safe reception of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy at universities and courses of additional professional education.
