In the US a dentist with HIV infected six patients, while a gynaecologist in Spain passed on the illness to one woman. And in France a nurse is known to have passed on the virus to one patient and an orthopaedic surgeon infected another.
The Department of Health launched a consultation yesterday on its proposals to lift the ban and in the next few weeks will gather feedback from organisations and the public.
Under the proposals, HIV-infected health workers would have to be given ‘combination antiretroviral drug therapy’ to reduce the virus count so it could not be transmitted. They would also have to undergo tests to check the virus count was low before they could perform surgery and other procedures.
英国的艾滋病病毒(HIV)感染者不久后有望从事外科医生或牙医的工作。
英国卫生部希望取消目前的禁令,并表示这是因为这样做对病人的风险“非常低”。
目前,HIV病毒阳性的医护人员被禁止从事大部分外科或牙科治疗,以防他们使用仪器时割破皮肤,导致血液传染。
但他们可以成为非专科医生、住院医生、护士、或助产士,并开展几乎所有的相关日常工作,包括被认为风险很低的注射。
但英国卫生部希望取消这一禁令,原因是医护人员感染病人的几率“可以忽略不计”。
据英国卫生部开展的调查,医生、牙医、或外科医生将HIV病毒传染给病人的风险还不到500万分之一,和雷击致死的几率类似。
