Revisiting Orthopaedic Surgery Residents' Views of the CDC and AAOS Precautionary Guidelines for HIV.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate how orthopaedic residents' views and behaviors toward the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have changed over the past 25 years.

Methods: Between May 2017 and June 2017, an electronic survey was distributed to residents who were enrolled orthopaedic residency programs in the United States. The survey included questions based on the revised 2012 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission prevention.
