AB In the trauma emergency room 212 patients were asked--according to
German law--for a blood sample for HIV-testing. Nine (4.2%) victims
rejected the test, another 3 (1,4%) did not meet the study criteria
since they were previously known to be HIV-positive or suffering from
AIDS disease. None of the finally tested 200 patients was HIV-positive.
On an anonymous questionnaire that was handed out additionally, 64% of
the patients said they would accept HIV-testing without consent prior to
operative treatment. 49% would reject HIV-testing without consent in
non-operative treatment.
