abstract: Everyone must be concerned to prevent the spread of AIDS, for which there is no effective treatment and no likelihood of an early vaccine. Infection control measures that have been developed to prevent the spread of hepatitis B virus can be used to protect health care workers against the human immunodeficiency viruses that cause AIDS. The current infection control recommendations are discussed in this article.
