The single most important measure to control the transmission of hepatitis B virus and human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is to treat all human blood and other potentially infectious
materials as if they were infectious for HIV and hepatitis B as well as any other contagious diseases
such as chicken pox or scabies. Application to this approach is referred to as “universal
precautions” (Figure 14.3). Blood and other infectious materials should be considered as potentially
infectious materials. These fluids cause contamination.
