Abstract |
A survey of the frequency of occupational infections with the AIDS virus among health care personnel shows that the number is low. The steps to provide evidence of occupational HIV-infection include examination for the presence of antibodies in serum samples immediately after an accident (contact with infected blood) and 4-6 weeks after possible infection. The various stages of the disease are described. |
