Abstract:
HIV infection can be transferred by blood, blood products and organ transplantation. In traumatic surgery allogeneic bone transplantation is commonly used for reconstruction in severe bone injuries. This technique has been abandoned since the appearance of reports of infections with HIV. In an experimental in vitro study we showed that ozone treatment cannot inactivate HIV in bone for transplantation.
