Endoscopy has not remained unaffected by the increasing number of AIDS patients. A survey among German gastroenterologic centers has shown that most endoscopists pay close attention to this problem. It may be true that the safety precautions, considered to be necessary by some if a patient's HIV status is unknown, are exaggerated; the procedures undertaken for HIV positive patients are, however, in accordance with the recommendations made so far. The risk of infection is considered to be moderate to minimal, the procedures undertaken until now to disinfect endoscopes are considered to be adequate.
内镜检查也受到了艾滋病患者数量增加的影响。一项针对德国胃肠病学中心的调查显示，大多数内镜医师都密切关注这个问题。如果患者的艾滋病毒感染状况不明，一些人认为必要的安全预防措施可能有些夸张；然而，为艾滋病毒阳性患者采取的程序符合目前的建议。感染风险被认为是中度到最小，目前用于消毒内镜的程序被认为是足够的。
