[Between isolation and acceptance--hepatitis B and AIDS in community facilities].
Both Hepatitis B and the HIV-infection are spread either through blood or sexual contact. The danger of these infections spreading in day nurseries and schools is very remote but nonetheless there are confused fears. These fears lead to isolation and enormous problems for the carriers, who, for the most part, are children but can also be adults. As far as Hepatitis B, HIV and AIDS are concerned there are clear scientific recommendations for those attending these social institutions. Such recommendations have been published in decrees by the responsible ministries of the Länder of the Federal Republic of Germany. These decrees enable infected children and adolescents to lead an accepted life within the community. They reduce the remaining extremely small risk of transmitting the diseases to a level that is in fact lower than the general risk of every-day life and can be tolerated in an empathic society.
