Abstract des Autors
The AMSSM and the AASM recognize that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, as well as other bloodborne pathogens including hepatitis B and C, poses a series of important and complex issues for practitioners involved in the care of athletes. This document is directed toward physicians and other health care providers involved in the field of sports medicine and is intended to serve as a guideline to 1) understand HIV and other blood-borne pathogens as they relate to sports; 2) implement practical preventive measures that further minimize the low risk of transmission of these pathogens; 3) develop effective educational initiatives regarding these infections, their transmission, and prevention among athletes and others involved in sports; and 4) provide guidance for the care of HIV-infected athletes. The AMSSM and AASM recognize that the medical information concerning blood-borne pathogens, particularly with regard to HIV, is evolving rapidly. This document is intended only as a guideline and is based on the present available knowledge. The following recommendations may change in the future. Verf.-Referat
