The increasing number of people living with HIV/AIDS is causing concern among surgeons over risk of occupationally acquired HIV infection. This may influence their attitude to such patients. The purpose of this study was to develop a cross-sectional survey of orthopaedic surgeons to assess their concerns, attitudes, and practices towards management of HIV-positive patients in Nigeria. All respondents were males, 55 (73.3%) of them indicated concern over the risk of occupational acquisition of HIV infection and 37 (49.3%) had examined or operated on at least one HIV/AIDS patient. Sixty (79.9%) were willing to be tested for HIV and 51 (67.9%) were previously tested. Fifty-seven (75.9%) would order preoperative HIV screening of high risk patients, and 67 (89.3%) would operate on HIV-positive patients. Most orthopaedic surgeons in Nigeria would operate on HIV-positive patients.
感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人数不断增加，这引起了外科医生对职业性感染艾滋病毒风险的担忧。这可能会影响他们对这类患者的态度。本研究的目的是开展一项针对骨科医生的横断面调查，以评估他们对尼日利亚艾滋病毒阳性患者管理的担忧、态度和做法。所有受访者均为男性，其中55人（73.3%）表示担心职业性感染艾滋病毒的风险，37人（49.3%）至少为一名艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者进行过检查或手术。60人（79.9%）愿意接受艾滋病毒检测，51人（67.9%）之前接受过检测。57人（75.9%）会为高危患者进行术前艾滋病毒筛查，67人（89.3%）会为艾滋病毒阳性患者做手术。尼日利亚大多数骨科医生会为艾滋病毒阳性患者做手术。
