How do physicians handle HIV/Aids patients?

Medical office

You should handle all patients as if they could be infected with AIDS. This would ensure that all patients are treated equally and fairly.

They treat them the same as they treat anyone else. BSI precautions for every patient.

The medical industry really should be treating every patient as though they may be infected with HIV and other such diseases, such as hepatitis and it's variants. All bodily fluids should be treated the same way. This is common practice in many hospitals and doctors offices. Sharps, regardless of the patient, go into a sharps box that greatly reduces the risk of being jabbed with a dirty needle. Blood spills are cleaned and sanitized. Etc.

In a clinic I worked in we handled all patients as if they had HIV, when they came to get tested, we counseled them and gave them the same lecture, off course it varied according to each persons cirrcumstances. The people we knew had HIV were treated always with respect. We off course took the necessary precautions for exmaple, wearing globes if we had to draw blood, wearing mask if the patient had TB. We treat them as we would treat any other person, after all there normal people too.
