摘要

In June 2000, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from management personnel at the Dallas Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DIAOM) to evaluate the potential for occupational exposures to bloodborne pathogens (BBPs; e.g., the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV)) from acupuncture and other procedures. In response to this request, NIOSH investigators conducted a site visit in October 2000.
