Description

Infection control practices in healthcare have changed radically since the advent of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C in the 1980s. While the hazards remain, changes in care practices and protective devices have improved the safety of healthcare professionals against bloodborne pathogens as never before. This program describes the dangerous bloodborne viruses themselves and how they are transmitted, looking specifically at HIV and AIDS, hepatitis B and C, the sources of transmission of bloodborne infections, and the modes of transmission in and outside the workplace.
