Dental Management of Patients With HIV in Pays de la Loire
France5,603 participantsStarted 2026-05-02
Plain-language summary
Dental care for people living with HIV has evolved with the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy, which has improved life expectancy and disease control. However, uncertainty remains about whether specific adaptations are still needed during dental procedures due to potential biological abnormalities that may increase infectious or bleeding risks.
This study aims to evaluate the proportion of patients living with HIV in the Pays de la Loire region who may require adapted dental management based on biological parameters such as immune status, hematological values, and comorbidities.
A retrospective descriptive study will be conducted using anonymized data from 5,603 patients followed in the COREVIH Pays de la Loire database. The results are expected to provide objective data to better inform dental practice and reduce unnecessary precautions or stigmatization in the management of patients living with HIV.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
