The Hong Kong Advisory Council on AIDS (ACA) formulated the “HIV Infection and the Health Care Workers – Recommended Guidelines” in 1994, which was subsequently updated and reprinted in 2003. In view of the expanded scientific knowledge in the field and local developments over the last decade, the Council recently undertook to review and revise the Guidelines. Areas which have been updated include HIV testing, advances in treatment, infection control and risk of HIV transmission.
This Guidelines aims to provide information and guidance for addressing this complex and sensitive subject in the local setting. It is relevant to many stakeholders, including but not limited to health care workers, professional bodies, AIDS service providers, people living with HIV/AIDS and the general public.
ACA has recently completed the consultation of the stakeholders and is now conducting a 3-month public consultation of the draft Guidelines from 17 June to 16 September 2013. If you have any comments on the draft Guidelines, please complete the Comment Form and return it to us by 16 September 2013 by one of the following means -
