Abstract
Standard precautions and infection control procedures protect against transmission of blood-borne viruses including HIV, HBV and HCV in the health care setting. Regardless of the perceived risk or assumptions about a patient's infection status, infection control procedures must be followed in all clinical settings to minimise the risk of transmission of blood-borne viruses.
