Hello, Regarding Brigett's post about possible contact with HIV (I am assuming that she was talking about HIV) are many of you using Universal Precautions on your consults?? I have to admit that after a similar situation in the Bay Area, I started at least taking gloves and finger cots along and I became very cautious with getting my hands so close to the nursing dyad. I agree with Dr. Jack though, after talking to the CDC in Atlanta, the risk did seem very low. Merilee Reeder Basel, CH Where the sun is SHINING!! Unusual for winter in CH.
