Abstract:
Is the degree of risk involved in providing health care to people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acceptable? Every health care worker, even if only for a few anxious minutes, has certainly worried about this risk. Drs Wilson, Williams, and Robinson discuss these concerns and summarize the indications and prognoses for surgery to treat some common AIDS-related syndromes.
