AB Risk of HIV transmission during the different modes of treatment depends
on the HIV prevalence within the patient population and the instruments
used during invasive procedures. Generally HIV may be transmitted from
patient to the health care worker, from patient to patient and from
health care worker to patient. Prevention of all modes of transmission
is sterilisation or single use of equipment and if this is not possible
proper disinfection of the equipment. HIV may be transmitted to patients
by transplants that have not been sufficiently checked or pretreated.
The most common route of HIV transmission is by stab wounds or puncture
wounds by sharp instruments including needles. All reagents used for
disinfection of other infectious agents are also valid for HIV. Infected
staff should when ever possible avoid or refrain from performing
operative procedures. HIV transmission is easily to prevent and part of
all daily activities in medicine.
