Needlestick injury is the most important risk event for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B Virus (HBV) transmission to health-care workers. We examined phlebotomy practices, the frequency of needle stick injuries, the reporting of such injuries and hepatitis B status among interns in St James's Hospital during a six month period. This study took the form of a questionnaire. The response rate was 100%. 72% had at least one needlestick injury during this time period, 23% had injuries from known HIV sero-positive or hepatitis B surface antigen positive patients, less than 5% of all injuries were reported and only 41% of interns were definitely hepatitis B immune. The majority (77%) resheated needles by hand.
针刺伤是医护人员感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）的最重要风险事件。我们在六个月的时间里，对圣詹姆斯医院实习医生的静脉穿刺操作、针刺伤发生频率、此类损伤的报告情况以及乙肝状况进行了调查。本研究采用问卷调查的形式。回复率为100%。在此期间，72%的人至少发生过一次针刺伤，23%的人是被已知HIV血清阳性或乙肝表面抗原阳性的患者刺伤，所有损伤中报告的不到5%，只有41%的实习医生确定对乙肝具有免疫力。大多数人（77%）手工重新加热针头。
