Due to the increasing global number of HIV-positive patients, the potential risk of acquiring infection with HIV during routine clinical care is on the increase. Assessments of the knowledge of medical students about occupational HIV transmission are therefore important. This study analysed the knowledge of 397 first year and 75 fifth year medical students about the epidemiology of HIV in Germany and their assessment of the risk of acquiring HIV in different clinical situations. Medical students overestimated the incidence and mortality of HIV in Germany, with fewer than 30% knowing the correct numbers. They also overestimated the risk of occupational HIV infection in several clinical settings, such as changing dirty linen or wound dressings. Few differences were found between first and fifth year medical students. For their later work as physicians medical students still need more information and counselling about the epidemiology of HIV, prevention of occupational HIV infections and care for patients with HIV/AIDS.
由于全球艾滋病毒阳性患者数量不断增加，在常规临床护理期间感染艾滋病毒的潜在风险也在上升。因此，评估医学生对职业性艾滋病毒传播的知识很重要。本研究分析了397名一年级和75名五年级医学生对德国艾滋病毒流行病学的了解，以及他们对在不同临床情况下感染艾滋病毒风险的评估。医学生高估了德国艾滋病毒的发病率和死亡率，只有不到30%的人知道正确数字。他们还高估了在一些临床环境中如更换脏床单或伤口敷料时职业性感染艾滋病毒的风险。一年级和五年级医学生之间几乎没有发现差异。对于他们日后作为医生的工作，医学生仍然需要更多关于艾滋病毒流行病学、预防职业性艾滋病毒感染以及护理艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的信息和咨询。
