What is the HIV/AIDS CE requirement for dental professionals?

• A. Must complete a board-approved 2-hour CE course no later than the first license renewal or for reactivation
• B. Must complete a 4-hour CE course every year
• C. No HIV/AIDS CE requirement
• D. Must complete a 1-hour CE course every other biennium

Answer: (A)

The HIV/AIDS CE requirement tests knowledge of infection control and patient safety specific to HIV/AIDS. Florida dental professionals must complete a board-approved two-hour HIV/AIDS continuing education course by the time of the first license renewal or reactivation. This is a one-time obligation tied to licensure events, not an ongoing yearly or biennial mandate.

The other options don’t fit because they propose different durations or frequencies (a longer annual course, or a requirement exists at all, or a smaller course every other biennium), which do not align with the board’s rule.
