Almost 20% of doctors regarded their risk of acquiring the HIV infection during their professional activities as quite high, while 10% of them stated that they would refuse to help an HIV-positive patient or that they did not know what they would do in such a situation. Majority (71.4%) of the respondents claimed that within the last 2 years they had undertaken a training oncerning HIV/AIDS
