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.
