Issue Date: | 2001 | Journal Volume: | 12 | Journal Issue: | 3 | Start page/Pages: | 121-131 | Source: | Journal of Internal Medicine of Taiwan | Abstract: | Health care workers (HCWs) are prone to contact with various body fluids contaminated with a multitude of blood-borne pathogens, which may put them at increased risk for infection after such occupational exposure. In the face of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, it is imperative for HCWs to update the knowledge of postexposure prophylaxis against HIV infection. In this article, we review the management guidelines of occupational exposure to HIV currently recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States and enlist the problems which the HCWs with such occupational exposure and the hospital administration may encounter here in Taiwan. |
