HIV Physician Education: Bridging Clinical Research and Patient Care
The mission of the International AIDS Society-USA is to improve treatment, care, and quality of life for HIV-Infected people through high-quality, relevant, balanced, and needs-oriented education and information for practitioners who are actively involved in medical care for people with HIV disease.

 

 
HIVdent's Mission
HIVdent is a not-for-profit coalition of concerned health care professionals committed to assuring access to high quality oral health care services for adults, adolescents, and children living with HIV disease. HIVdent disseminates state-of-the-art treatment information and shares expertise in advocacy, development, training, integration, and evaluation of oral health services for the HIV-infected population.

The primary mechanism by which HIVdent initially intends to accomplish its mission is via this web site. Inside, not only will you find several sections on the oral manifestations of HIV disease and a large picture gallery, but information on infection control, post-exposure protocols, pediatric/adolescent care, medications, funding and other resources.

Through an easily accessible e-mail system, health care professionals and consumers alike are able to communicate directly with our Faculty, some of the foremost international experts in these fields.
