| the right to know. ethical issues related to mandatory testing of healthcare workers for hiv. | to prevent transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) from patient to healthcare professional, in 1987 the centers for disease control (cdc) put forth guidelines requiring the use of gloves and sometimes masks when treating all patients in exposure-prone situations. recently, however, the spotlight has shifted as a result of tragic events in florida when patients of a dentist who died of aids were found to be infected with the virus. the question now is whether patients have a need and r ... | 1991 | 10128676 |
| surveillance of tuberculosis and aids co-morbidity--florida, 1981-1993. | because immunosuppression induced by human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection increases the likelihood that latent tuberculosis (tb) infection will become active in hiv-infected persons (1,2), in 1987, extrapulmonary or disseminated tb was added to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) surveillance case definition (3), and in 1993, pulmonary tb in hiv-infected persons was added to the case definition (4). in florida and other areas (5), aids surveillance activities include assessment ... | 1996 | 8531919 |
