Abstract

Prehospital emergency medical service personnel are at occupational risk of exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Current protections from blood-borne pathogens are not adequate for all firefighters and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. The International Association of Fire Fighters examines the environmental realities of the profession and seeks solutions for effective postexposure management of HIV-exposed firefighters and EMS professionals.
