Consultation
Management of HIV-infected healthcare workers in Africa
Some countries have national guidance
that restricts HIV-infected healthcare workers from performing clinical
procedures, known as "exposure prone procedures" to protect patients from the
risk of infection.
Such procedures, which occur mainly
in specialties such as surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, dentistry and some
aspects of midwifery and specialist nursing, carry a risk that the healthcare
worker could injure themselves and bleed into the patient's open tissues, with a
consequent risk of infection. The five known countries to have such restrictions
are Australia, Ireland, Italy, Malta and the UK.
Africa Health Organisation is doing
consultation to help it assess the management of HIV-infected healthcare workers
in Africa and help develop guidance to ensure that patients remain appropriately
protected from the risk of HIV infection during exposure prone procedures.
