Health-care workerʹs contamination was noticed with discovery of blood-borne pathogens in the late 1980ʹs. The main way of this transmission is via hollow intravascular needles, although other sharp instruments are also important [1]. Sixty blood-borne pathogens have been reported until now which contain 26 kinds of viruses, 18 kinds of bacteria/ rickettsias, 13 kinds of parasites and 3 different fungi. However, Hepatitis B, C and HIV viruses responsible for the majority of occupational transmission [2]. The risk of this transmission in Hepatitis B (30%), Hepatitis C (1.8%) and HIV (0.3%) depend on patientʹs viral load and the amount of blood that has been transmitted from patient to health-care worker [3].
