Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) - Oral Health Care Considerations

Ascertain if the STD is active or nonactive.
Check for oral lesions associated with an STD, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) , and human papilloma virus (HPV) infections. Be aware that these infections may be transmitted by direct contact.
Determine if cardiomyopathy-associated syphilis requires antibiotic prophylaxis prior to dental procedures.
Address systemic STDs such as hepatitis B infection (HBV) and HIV disease accordingly.
