  • Title: Surveillance for occupationally acquired HIV infection--United States, 1981-1992.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1992 Oct 30; 41(43):823-5. PubMed ID: 1406579.
    Abstract:
    Public health surveillance for and risk-assessment studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection provide a basis for formulating measures to minimize the risk for occupational transmission of HIV to health-care workers (1-6). Data on occupational transmission of HIV have been provided by two CDC-supported national surveillance systems: one initiated in 1981 for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases and one initiated in 1991 for HIV infections acquired through occupational exposures (Table 1). This report summarizes data on occupationally acquired HIV infection from these surveillance systems through September 1992.
