Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out. The target group consisted of 25 dentists. The results were taken to a database using descriptive statistics and were organized, summarized and presented in tables of frequency distribution using the percentage method.
Results: the knowledge of dentists on bioethical aspects according to their professional training was not satisfactory; knowledge about biosafety standards in the treatment of HIV / aids patients was not enough either.
Conclusions: at the end of the study, the knowledge of professionals regarding bioethical and biosafety aspects in the treatment of HIV/aids patients was evaluated as not satisfactory.
