HIV: The overall risk of contracting HIV from any single exposure to body fluids from an HIV-infected patient from nonoccupational exposures is low. However, individual risk may be influenced by many variables. Additional risk factors may augment HIV exposure risk significantly: the level of viremia in the source patient and the presence of genital lesions in the source or the exposed patient.
