[Needlestick injuries and unprotected sex in the Netherlands].
Needlestick accidents can be divided into occupational and non-occupational accidents. In the Netherlands, occupational accidents are often managed adequately on-site, but the management of non-occupational accidents can be improved. It is questionable whether prophylaxis after unprotected sex (voluntary and involuntary) should be managed using current needle-stick protocols. These accidents require a separate protocol.
