| Response from Mr. Chambers
 Virtually all persons in healthcare practice universal precautions. In addition to protecting the provider in case the patient is HIV+, it also protects the patient. Assuming your friend, the nurse, practices this wearing gloves, using only sterile implements, etc., then the chance that a patient would catch HIV from her are really infinitesimal. | ||||||||
