Resumo: The aim of the present study consisted on the evaluation of knowledge and attitudes of students belonging to the Dental School of the Federal University of Uberlandia (UFU), about HIV/AIDS. This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire to collect individual information with undergraduate students, of the 7th and 8th semester. The results were analyzed by Microsoft Excel and were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated. The sample consisted of 61 students. Regarding the perception of HIV and the experiences during the dental practice, 59% of the participants stated that they had provided care to at least one self-declared HIV positive patient. In this scenario, 26% of the surveyed participants reported having suffered some type of biological accident. About 31% of respondents stated that a seropositive dental surgeon should not continue practicing his profession without informing his patients of his serological status. Regarding the use of goggles, 19% of the participants did not mention it as personal protective equipment when attending. Therefore, the knowledge evaluation and the student´s attitudes are adequate regarding virus development, transmission and oral manifestations. However, it was observed the lack of understanding, by part of the sample, regarding biosafety measures, handling after a biological accident, and civil and criminal responsibility.

Este estudio transversal utilizó un instrumento en forma de encuesta, con el fin de recolectar información individual, con estudiantes de pregrado del séptimo y octavo período. Los resultados fueron publicados en Microsoft Excel, siendo evaluados cualitativa y cuantitativamente. La muestra estuvo formada por 61 estudiantes. En cuanto a la percepción del VIH y las experiencias, el 59% de los participantes manifestó haber prestado atención al menos a un paciente VIH positivo autodeclarado. En este escenario, el 26% de los encuestados reportaron haber sufrido algún tipo de accidente biológico. Aproximadamente el 31% de los encuestados afirmó que un cirujano dental seropositivo no debería seguir ejerciendo su profesión sin informar a sus pacientes de su estado serológico. En cuanto al uso de gafas, el 19% de los participantes no lo mencionó como equipo de protección personal al asistir. Así, la evaluación de los conocimientos y actitudes de los estudiantes es adecuada en cuanto al desarrollo, transmisión del virus y manifestaciones orales. Sin embargo, se observó que la muestra carecía de un mayor conocimiento de las medidas de bioseguridad, manejo después de un accidente biológico y responsabilidad civil y penal.O objetivo da presente pesquisa consistiu na avaliação do conhecimento e atitudes dos estudantes da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (FOUFU) sobre o HIV/AIDS. Este estudo transversal, utilizou um instrumento em forma de inquérito, a fim de coletar informações individuais, com graduandos do 7º e 8º períodos. Os resultados foram lançados no Microsoft Excel, sendo avaliados qualitativamente e quantitativamente. A amostra foi constituída por 61 discentes. Quanto a percepção sobre o HIV e experiências vivenciadas, 59% dos participantes afirmaram ter prestado atendimento a pelo menos um paciente autodeclarado HIV positivo. Neste cenário ainda, 26% dos participantes pesquisados relataram ter sofrido algum tipo de acidente biológico. Cerca de 31% dos entrevistados afirmaram que um cirurgião-dentista soropositivo não deve continuar exercendo sua profissão sem informar seu status sorológico aos seus pacientes. Sobre o uso de óculos de proteção, 19% dos participantes não o citaram como equipamento de proteção individual nos atendimentos. Desta forma, a avaliação do conhecimento e atitudes dos discentes é adequado quanto ao desenvolvimento, transmissão do vírus e manifestações orais. Todavia, foi observado que faltou maior compreensão por parte da amostra ao que tange as medidas de biossegurança, manejo após acidente biológico, e responsabilidade civil e criminal.Research, Society and Development2021-05-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1501910.33448/rsd-v10i5.15019Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 5; e38510515019Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 5; e38510515019Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 5; e385105150192525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/15019/13506Copyright (c) 2021 Washington Henrique Themoteo da Silva; Paula Caetano Araújohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Washington Henrique Themoteo da Araújo, Paula Caetano 2021-05-17T18:20:49Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15019Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:35:57.113149Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
