Abstract	The risk of transmission of blood-borne viral diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS among health-care workers is a matter for concern, particularly to surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and others involved in the surgery oforthopaedics and trauma. By the late 1970s, 13% to 18% of surgeons had been infected with the hepatitis-B virus (HBV) compared with 3% to 5% of the general population. The annual rate of infection in health-care workers was found to range from 0.5% to 5.0%, compared with 0.1% in the general population of the USA. An anti-HBV vaccine became available in 1981 and has helped to control this problem; the risk of occupational infection from the hepatitis-C virus (HCV) has been increasingly recognised. A new and threatening problem has arisen from the emergence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its rapid spread.
