Abstract
By the time the sun sets today, between 100 and 250 more Americans will become infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Health care workers during the same 24‐hour period will report approximately 2,000 needle stick accidents.Keywords
