Treating Patients Living with HIV+

In 2019, HHS released a new initiative known as the Plan to End the HIV Epidemic. Understanding this plan and the role that the dental profession can play in helping patients stay engaged in care and referring or providing HIV screening are important to ensure success. Oral health is an integral component of primary care. As stated in the Surgeon General’s report: “Oral Health in America”, one cannot be healthy without oral health.

In this video, Dr. David Reznik, Director of the Oral Health Center of Grady Health System’s Infectious Disease Program, will cover information on the important role of the oral health care team regarding the overall well-being of people with HIV (PWH).

Ensure that you manage and maintain your dental equipment so you can protect your patients while operating at maximum efficiency.
