Anonymous survey for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) seropositivity in SIV-laboratory researchers--United States, 1992.
CDC recently reported on two laboratory workers who had seroconverted against simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) following work-related exposure to the virus. In follow-up, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and CDC have collaborated on an anonymous SIV seroprevalence study using stored serum samples from some laboratory workers and animal caretakers involved in SIV research at some of the NIH-sponsored facilities in the United States. This report summarizes the study.
