The risk of health-care workers to become infected with HIV during professional activities is low. Prevention of exposures by obeying appropriate precautions is the most important means to lower this risk further. During the last few years it has become more and more likely that an immediate antiretroviral postexposure prophylaxis can prevent at least 80% of possible infections. Thus, each exposure to HIV-positive blood should be considered an acute medical emergency. Immediate counseling by qualified experts and possibilities to start postexposure prophylaxis as soon as possible should be available in all medical settings.
医护人员在职业活动中感染艾滋病毒的风险较低。通过遵守适当的预防措施来防止暴露是进一步降低这种风险的最重要手段。在过去几年中，立即进行抗逆转录病毒暴露后预防越来越有可能预防至少80%的可能感染。因此，每次接触艾滋病毒阳性血液都应被视为急性医疗紧急情况。在所有医疗环境中都应提供合格专家的即时咨询以及尽快开始暴露后预防的可能性。
