Since 1986, when the first AIDS patient was admitted, the Hospital of Tropical
Diseases hás been following up heallh care workers for occupational exposure (o
AIDS.
From July,1986 to October,1992 fíve hundred seventy-nine AIDS patients wcre
admitted and 37 occupational exposures were notified; 22 of them due to biologk-al
specimens of AIDS patients. Percutaneous exposures were more (12 times) and tln-y
resulted from needle - sticks in 17 cases. The fingers were more frequently exposcd.
Health care workers with these exposures included especially nurses (tecbnicians and
auxiliaries). They were tested for HIV antibodies on exposure and 3 and 6 monlhs
after. At this time 13 health care workers have been tested at least 180 days aftcr
exposure, 3 have had only the first test and the others haven't completed the follow
up yet.
Seroconversions have not been identified. And none of the health care workers
have shown clinicai symptons consistent with acute HIV infection.
