[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xJDpF5. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This stuly determined intection risk for HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) from needle rease at a phlebotormy center that poseibly exposed 3810 patients to infection. Methods. We used a model for the risk of infection per blood draw supplemented by subsequent testing results from 1699 patients. Results. The highest risk of transmission was for HBV infection : 1.1 x 10-6 to the best case and 1.2 x 103 in the (unlikety) worst case. Subsequent testing yielded presalence rates of 0.12%, 0.41% and 0.88% for HIV, HBV, and HCV, respectively, lower than National Health and National Examination Survey III prevalence estimates. Conclusions. The infection risk was very low ; few, if any, transmissions are likely to have occurted.
