In 2019, HHS released a new initiative known as the Plan to End the HIV Epidemic. Understanding this plan and the roll 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.
Join Dr. David Reznik, Director of the Oral Health Center of Grady Health System’s Infectious Disease Program, for a 1-hour webinar covering information on the important role of the oral health care team regarding the overall well-being of people with HIV (PWH).

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

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. |
