Developed by the World Health Organization in collaboration with the International Council of Nurses, the book provides a clear and explicit guide to the precautions needed to prevent the transmission of HIV in health care settings.

Specific topics range from the importance of confidentiality in counselling to the sensitive question of whether children infected with HIV should be immunized. Readers will also find guidance on the universal precautions to follow in relation to blood and other body fluids, injections and skin-piercing, laboratory specimens, invasive procedures, laundry, blood spills, and the disposal of infected wastes.
