A cross-sectional study was made in 32 haemodialysis units in the the Nile delta, Egypt to evaluate knowledge and practices towards risk of HIV infection by 317 health care workers. Exposure to needle-stick injury was reported by 48.6% in the previous year. Significantly more workers in government units than in private units had good knowledge of bloodborne infections, universal blood precautions and safe disposal of contaminated items, and recognized asymptomatic HIV patients as a risk. Previous training, but not years of experience, influenced knowledge. Despite good knowledge, the performance of health workers was poor for universal blood precautions, and was worse in private haemodialysis units.
在埃及尼罗河三角洲的32个血液透析单位开展了一项横断面研究，以评估317名医护人员对HIV感染风险的认知及做法。上一年度报告有48.6%的人曾暴露于针刺伤。政府单位的工作人员比私立单位的工作人员对血源感染、通用血液防护措施以及污染物品的安全处置有更显著良好的认知，并且认识到无症状HIV患者具有风险。既往培训而非工作年限影响认知。尽管认知良好，但医护人员在通用血液防护措施方面的表现较差，且在私立血液透析单位表现更差。
