The potential risks of obtaining an HIV infection during the clinical routine becomes recently more and more a subject for discussion. The assessment of HIV transmission in the hospital by medical students seems to be important, because medical students are doing practical nursing training, medical clerkships and courses in the hospital, are in a developing process to their later social role as a physician and because of their age, they belong to the group with the highest statistical risk of getting HIV infected. The following study analysed the view of medical students to get HIV infected in typical clinical routine situations and non-clinical situations. 316 medical student in the first year (average age: 22 years, female = 171, male = 145) estimated the risk of getting HIV infected for 18 different clinical and non-clinical situations. The survey was done in 1991 and 1993. It becomes obvious, that medical students still have gaps in their knowledge about HIV transmission. Over 10% of them estimated non-clinical situations like mosquito- and animal-bites or clinical situations like changing dirty linen or physical examination as situations with a high risk of getting HIV infected. The study shows, that medical students need more informations and counselling about HIV related aspects for their later work as a physician.
在临床日常工作中感染艾滋病毒的潜在风险近来越来越成为讨论的话题。医学生对医院内艾滋病毒传播情况的评估似乎很重要，因为医学生在医院进行实践护理培训、临床实习和课程学习，正处于向未来医生社会角色发展的过程中，而且由于他们的年龄，他们属于统计上感染艾滋病毒风险最高的群体。以下研究分析了医学生对在典型临床日常情况和非临床情况下感染艾滋病毒的看法。316名一年级医学生（平均年龄：22岁，女生 = 171人，男生 = 145人）评估了18种不同临床和非临床情况下感染艾滋病毒的风险。该调查于1991年和1993年进行。显而易见，医学生在艾滋病毒传播知识方面仍存在欠缺。超过10%的学生将蚊虫叮咬和动物咬伤等非临床情况，或更换脏床单和体格检查等临床情况视为感染艾滋病毒的高风险情况。研究表明，医学生在未来行医时需要更多关于艾滋病毒相关方面的信息和咨询。
