Describe healthcare workers' most common route of exposure to occupationally acquired HIV, and what steps should be done to prevent exposure
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
85% of all occupationally acquired HIV is due to needlestick injuries. Most needlestick injuries happen after use but before disposalâ€"usually the sharps disposal container is full and the healthcare worker's hand is injured by a needle near the top of the container. Ensuring that the sharps container is available, in reach, and no more than ¾ full before performing a procedure will reduce the risk of exposure.
