Study Shows No Link of HIV Positive Dentist Patients
An HIV positive dentist who used an imperfect infection control techniques apparently did not transmit the virus to his patients, according to a new study by federal and Florida researchers.
It is possible that this particular case fell victim to the verdict from a similar case that happened earlier where one dentist did transmit HIV to his patients.
The new study by the federal centers for disease control and this state's health department used DNA sequencing to isolate the strain of HIV carried by the unidentified dentist.
It found no evidence that the dentist's HIV positive patients contracted their infections from him because their virus' DNA did not match his.
Some of the conclusions also supported the fact that one patient did not contract the virus from another infected patient and there was also nothing that supported claims made against unclean dental implements.
Studying the case even further allowed people to develop a better viewpoint. Virus transfers from dentists to their patients are low in risk and by it being low risk physicians should be free from mandatory health assessment exams.
Physicians were obligated to take mandatory health assessment tests after one of the six infected patients of the first dentist waged a crusade for such a ruling.
The other dentist had 30 years of experience most of which were spent helping indigenous people who were suffering from AIDS.
It only took three years for the dentist to succumb to the HIV he contracted.
As the last five years of his professional life came to a close 19% of his patients got tested for HIV and 24 tested positive for the virus.
In other ways four other patients found out of their HIV infections. All of those who tested positive for HIV were analyzed for potential behavioral problems and 24 out of the 28 were high risk.
When DNA sequencing was applied no evidence was found linking the strains of HIV from the dentist to his patients.
In no way could the dentist have transmitted his HIV to his patients as seen in the differences that existed in the strains of HIV taken from him and his patients.
But instead, we found that each of the infected patients and the dentist had distinct strains, suggesting that each was infected independently.
Possible sources still included dental implements which could have been contaminated thus causing the infections.
Coming from those who know AIDS well the new research may help suppress the fears people developed for dental services stemming from a patient's death.
A lot of good news has been pouring out of the center for disease control and new developments are seen by those at the HIV sequence database and analysis project as factors which can bolster their hard work.
Isolating HIV strains is the purpose of having the quasi governmental organization that never disregards the chances of experiencing another case like this taking into consideration the HIV epidemic that still exists today.
Information like this proves to be of great value for the American dental profession as they launch their campaign for safe practices.
The resolution of this case marks the numerous changes expected for the dental field in the coming years starting with drastic measures being taken for infection control.
Constant efforts are still being made to address the need for significant testing for physicians as the lawyer for the AIDS victim warns against giving patients false security.
Considering the events that led to the transmission of HIV from dentist to patient public health services should have a share of the blame especially because it was their duty to protect these people.
