Aug 5, 2000

Are there any web sites on hiv and infection control. I am a nurse trying to educate nursing assistants on standard precautions. They are having a hard time with this and I looking for help!

Response from Dr. Reznik

A few good suggestions for Infection Control would be:

Organization for Safety & Asepsis Procedures (OSAP)

http://www.osap.org

HIVdent

http://www.hivdent.org/infctl/office.htm

and of course the CDC website

I hope this information proves helpful!
