AB As health care professionals, we face a grave risk of acquiring HIV
infection in the course of our work. But how many of us really know the
precautions to be applied in the hospital set up in dealing with HIV
infected patients? A knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) study was
conducted in Pune hospitals to assess the current status. Among the
results 65% servants had not heard of AIDS, 85% nursing staff did not
apply the Universal Safety Precautions (USP) approach, 13.5% resident
thought that the HIV was not transmitted by blood, 30% consultants would
avoid contact with an HIV positive patient. This study has shown that
definite lacunae exist in knowledge specific to the particular
population in question. A proposal for an education programme which is
target specific and one of constant renewal is sought.
