What happens if you are a dentist, and you happen to have a girlfriend who didn't know she had HIV and transmitted it to you. Let's say you try to donate blood and they tell you that you are HIV positive and refer you to your doctor who proceeded to give you HIV medications.

Can you practice as a dentist with HIV? In what states, or all of them?
