The transmission of HIV infection through contaminated blood and blood products is of a great concern to the medical and dental community and household contacts. The available data support the concept that the risk of causal nosocomial transmission of HIV following needlestick or mucous membranes injuries is extremely low (0.44%). On the other hand no dental professionals, not belonging to any AIDS-high risk group, have showed HIV-antibodies. However, recently one New York dentist, who treated high risk individuals and did not use barrier techniques was found to be HIV antibody positive. Despite of the fact that the risk of causal transmission of HIV is low, appropriate barrier techniques must be used to prevent such transmission. Various studies indicate that household contacts who are not sexual partner of patients with AIDS are at minimal or no risk for horizontal transmission of HIV-infection.
通过受污染的血液和血液制品传播艾滋病毒感染，是医学界、牙科界以及家庭接触者极为关注的问题。现有数据支持这样一种观念，即针刺伤或黏膜损伤后医院内发生艾滋病毒因果性传播的风险极低（0.44%）。另一方面，没有任何不属于艾滋病高危人群的牙科专业人员检测出艾滋病毒抗体。然而，最近发现一名治疗高危个体且未采用防护技术的纽约牙医艾滋病毒抗体呈阳性。尽管艾滋病毒因果性传播的风险很低，但仍必须采用适当的防护技术来预防此类传播。各项研究表明，并非艾滋病患者性伴侣的家庭接触者，发生艾滋病毒感染水平传播的风险极小或没有风险。
