• Description:
  Guidance related to HIV infection is retired. Guidance on hepatitis B is superseded. (See Updated CDC recommendations for the management of hepatitis B virus-infected health-care providers and students. 2012.
  
  This document has been developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to update recommendations for prevention of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the health-care setting. Current data suggest that the risk for such transmission from a health-care worker (HCW) to a patient during an invasive procedure is small; a precise assessment of the risk is not yet available. This document contains recommendations to provide guidance for prevention of HIV and HBV transmission during those invasive procedures that are considered exposure-prone.
