I don't have a case report to list,but an Internist in Macon, Ga. gave a talk on HIV/AIDS to some hospital employees; of which I was one. In the course of the talk he described the unfortunate case of an E.R. nurse of his acquaintance who applied direct pressure to a bleeding wound with her bare hand emergently. The skin of her hand was unbroken, yet she became infected with HIV and died of complications of AIDS some 10 or 15 years later. The Internist had grown up with the nurse and knew her personal history quite well. She had no history of risky behaviour other than work in a large city E.R.
