HCPs in the United States have many benefits that work in their favor to help reduce the risk for disease transmission. The United States has laws and regulations regarding the implementation of needlesafe devices to reduce needlestick injuries. PEP is readily available when needed, and AIDS cases continue to decline nationwide. Personal protective equipment is readily available. Case numbers for occupational transmission of HIV infection to HCPs remain low. The United States also has set a national goal to cut new HIV infections in half by the year 2005. Federal law requires every EMS department to establish a designated infection control officer. Infection control officers must review and evaluate exposure incidents and ensure prompt, proper medical follow-up.
