Abstract
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.
