Hi Nikki,

I would be interested in the evidence based research that indicates that "
Drying a baby will kill HIV".  And, does drying kill other organisms as well?
If this is true, it coould potentially change nursing care practice.  Thanks,
Christy Ann Flynn, RN

Dear Friends:
    The answers that Phyllis was given about bathing babies have as their
verb the word 'want'. This is not evidence.
    Drying a baby will kill HIV. Is there any case of anybody contracting any
disease from handling a newborn?
    warmly,
