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.
