Transmission of HIV from patients to health care workers (HCWs) has been documented. Data from surveillance projects and epidemiologic studies provide the basis for evaluation of the risk of HIV transmission in health care settings. Strategies to further reduce this risk should focus on prevention of blood contacts between HCWs and patients through the use of universal precautions and implementation of new or modified medical devices, techniques, and personal protective equipment.
已有文献记载了人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)从患者传播给医护人员的情况。监测项目和流行病学研究的数据为评估医疗环境中HIV传播风险提供了依据。进一步降低这种风险的策略应侧重于通过采取普遍预防措施以及采用新的或改良的医疗设备、技术和个人防护装备,来防止医护人员与患者之间发生血液接触。
