Abstract:
There is a need for wider adoption of safer surgical techniques to reduce the chances of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission in the operating theatre. When a patient is known to have HIV infection extra precautions, including the wearing of additional protective clothing, should be carried out, even though it is not known whether such special measures are of value.
