Abstract
The constant exposure of health care workers to a wide range of infectious agents multiplies the risk of infection for both workers and patients. The issue of HIV prevention among health care workers is particularly acute. More than twenty infectious agents are now known to be transmissible by parenteral routes of transmission. This number is rather approximate, as most viral infections provoke pathological processes. However, the concentration of viruses in the blood can vary, as can the length of time the virus is present from the time of entry until the first signs of illness appear. It is these factors that determine the degree of risk of infection. The article examines the epidemiological situation of HIV infection in Samarkand region, outlines the regulatory documents on the prevention of HIV infection and the necessary preventive measures among health workers.
