Dentists are hesitant to offer rapid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing due to concerns about false results, patient acceptance, and reimbursement. Integrating HIV screening into dental practices requires addressing these barriers and fostering a cultural shift in dental care.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dental Medicine
  • Infectious Disease Prevention

Background:

  • The dental setting is increasingly recognized as a venue for rapid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing.
  • Dentists' willingness and perceived barriers to offering HIV testing remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore dentists' perspectives on integrating rapid HIV testing into their private practices.
  • To identify key concerns and facilitators influencing dentists' adoption of HIV screening.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted semistructured interviews with 40 private practice dentists.
  • Explored dentists' principal concerns, including false results, patient offense, scope of practice, patient acceptance, reimbursement, and practice impact.

Main Results:

  • Principal concerns included fear of false results, offending patients, testing outside licensure scope, low patient acceptance, inadequate reimbursement, and negative practice impact.
  • Dentists expressed minimal concern regarding transmission risks, staff opposition, or referral processes.

Conclusions:

  • Significant barriers hinder dentists' willingness to offer HIV testing in dental settings.
  • A broader cultural shift is necessary to engage dentists in primary HIV prevention and population-based screening efforts.
