Although only 0.3% of healthcare workers seroconvert after percutaneous exposure, a case-control study reported that deep injuries and other risk factors collectively increased seroconversion risk by as much as 50 times. Laboratory investigations demonstrate HIV survival through time and various rinsing regimens. We estimate that the transmission efficiency in medical settings with no or grossly insufficient efforts to clean equipment ranges from 0.5% to 3% for lower risk procedures (eg, intramuscular injections) and from 10% to 20% or more for high-risk procedures. Efforts to clean equipment, short of sterilization, may cut the transmission efficiency by 0%-100%. Procedures that contaminate multidose vials may accelerate transmission efficiency.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0899823X00196321_abs6\"><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>To achieve better estimates of the transmission efficiency for a range of medical procedures and settings, investigations of iatrogenic outbreaks should be accorded high priority.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1086\/506408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,25]],"date-time":"2006-08-25T19:38:10Z","timestamp":1156534690000},"page":"944-952","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Efficiency of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission Through Injections and Other Medical Procedures Evidence, Estimates, and Unfinished Business"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Gisselquist","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Garance","family":"Upham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"Potterat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref050","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1523-1747.ep12478379"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref045","first-page":"109","article-title":"HIV transmission during paediatric health care in sub-Saharan Africa: risks and evidence","volume":"94","author":"Gisselquist","year":"2004","journal-title":"S Afr Med J"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref048","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.4479.685"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(04)15497-4"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199312000-00012"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref060","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00042560-200112150-00013"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref055","first-page":"491","article-title":"Best infection control practices for intradermal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular needle injections","volume":"81","author":"Hutin","year":"2003","journal-title":"Bull WHO"},{"key":"S0899823X00196321_ref017","volume-title":"Localization of nosocomial outbreak of HIV infection in southern Russia in 1988-89.
