Abstract
The use of universal precautions can provide an effective barrier to transmission of viral infections. The most common route of occupational human immunodeficiency virus transmission to a health care provider is a self-inflicted needle stick with a contaminated needle. Use of the no-touch suturing technique in dermatologic surgery can lower the risk of such self- inflicted needle sticks.
