One in five HIV infections caused by medical staff
30th November 2009
One in five HIV sufferers in Africa was infected by medical staff using dirty needles and clinical equipment, new research has found.
John Potterat, an epidemiologist and one of the editors of the International Journal of STD and HIV, said: “Governments and international health agencies have deliberately chosen to ignore the evidence.
‘We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.’
Researchers accused governments of ignoring up the problem so as not undermine existing health schemes.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
