 AB    Despite universal precautions, work behavior modifications and
       technological advances, health care workers continue to experience
       occupational exposures to HIV and other bloodborne pathogens. Although
       the risk for infection is low when compared with other bloodborne
       pathogens, 39 documented cases of HIV seroconversion have been recorded.
       Recent attention has focused on secondary prevention of HIV infection
       through post-exposure chemoprophylaxis.
