AB In summary, the statistically greater risk of disease among health care
workers who suffer occupational needle sticks or similar exposure to
contaminated blood remains hepatitis. Routine vaccination of health care
workers who are at risk for exposure to hepatitis B, combined with
common-sense implementation of risk management behaviors should reduce
the chances of occupationally acquired blood-borne disease to levels of
acceptable risk. The practice of medicine has never been without risk to
the health care worker who is engaged in direct patient care, and the
present epidemic is no exception. Collective action to minimize the
impact of HIV disease continues to be the prudent and compassionate
course of action.
