“…First and foremost their knowledge on HIV improved, clearing some of the misconceptions they had. Some of the students had an experience of caring for an HIV positive relative which also significantly helped them to change their attitudes and this is consistent with previous research (Anderson et al, 1997;Bektaş & Kulakaç 2007;Peate et al 2002). Cunningham et al (2006) also revealed that previous experience of looking after ill family members or friends influence students' attitudes and approach to care.…”

“…19 Consequently, earlier research has assessed students' knowledge about HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. [20][21][22][23][24][25] Increased knowledge, however, has only limited effects on reducing fears associated with treating infectious patients and virtually no effect on the willingness to treat these patients. 19,26 Additionally, while dental students had a high level of knowledge of infection control procedures and were more likely to adhere to these procedures than were medical students, they were significantly less likely than medical students to report a desire to treat patients with infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS.…”

This study investigated dental and dental hygiene students' a) perceptions of their education about treating patients with HIV infections/AIDS, b) knowledge of universal precautions, c) attitudes towards treating these patients and patients perceived to be at risk for HIV infections, and d) evaluations of potential curricular activities such as discussion groups with HIV‐infected patients. Data were collected with self‐administered questionnaires from 315 dental and 89 dental hygiene students. On average, dental students reported having learned about this topic in fewer courses than dental hygiene students. However, dental students answered significantly more knowledge questions about universal precautions correctly than did dental hygiene students. This knowledge increased over the program course. Male students had significantly stronger negative attitudes towards patients at risk for or with HIV infections/AIDS than female students. Overall, dental and dental hygiene students responded positively to the suggested methods for including more material about patients with HIV infections/AIDS such as case studies, discussion groups, and closely supervised clinical experiences. This study shows that dental and dental hygiene students are interested in learning more about treating patients with HIV infections/AIDS. It also adds information to previous research on factors involved in the dental healthcare providers' decisions to treat patients at risk for or with HIV infections/AIDS. The implications of these findings for curriculum development efforts are discussed.

“…Anderson et al reported differences in medical students' knowledge about HIV due to different curricula in medical schools [14]. Admission into the medical school in the University of Kuopio requires that intending students pass standardized tests designed in line with the University curriculum.…”

This study sought to determine the level of general knowledge about HIV infection among Finnish medical students and their willingness to participate in AIDS vaccine trials. One hundred and sixty-two volunteer medical students at the University of Kuopio in the 2nd and 5th years of training filled self-administered questionnaires. The overall response rate among the 2nd year students was 77%, and among the 5th year students 70%. Knowledge was scored on a percentage scale. The mean score on general knowledge about HIV among 2nd year students was 75.6 (SD=0.23) while in the 5th year it was 87.8 (SD 0.18). Fifty-four students (77%) from the 5th year and 66 (72%) from the 2nd year indicated their willingness to participate (WTP) in AIDS vaccine trials (p=0.09). Medical curricula should be constantly revised to keep medical students up-to-date about recent advances in HIV/AIDS research.
