Re: Lyme and "itching"


Up to 11,000 U.S. veterans may have been mistakenly infected with HIV

Yesterday August 23, 2009, 11:27:13 AM | Mike RiveroGo to full article

11,000 veterans who had colonoscopies at U.S. Veterans Affairs hospitals may have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.

The veterans were advised equipment used during their treatment was not sterilized. Of those so far that responded by having follow-up blood checks, 8 have tested positive for HIV. Twelve of the veterans have tested positive for hepatitis B, and 37 have tested positive for hepatitis C.
