abstract: Administering zidovudine, also known as AZT, to healthcare workers immediately after they've been exposed to blood suspected of being infected with the AIDS virus is a realistic attempt to reduce their likelihood of becoming infected. That was the conclusion of one of some 2,500 presentations made at the recent international AIDS conference.
