During the Sixth World Workshop on Oral Health and Disease in AIDS, 170 delegates from 25 countries discussed and unanimously endorsed the issue of the Beijing Declaration. This was based both on a careful analysis of scientific evidence over two decades and on the observation that there has been no detectable transmission of HIV from an infected health care worker to a patient in a dental setting over the last twenty years. During this time, many thousands of patients have been serologically tested without evidence of transmission (see Flint et al., 2011).
