Since the early 20th century, when HIV began to circulate among humans, 
blood exposures during healthcare have contributed to the transmission of 
the virus.  Despite all the money and attention directed at HIV/AIDS in the 
past several decades, these risks have remained.  The book asks why, and 
seeks answers to a number of crucial questions:  How much of the worst HIV 
epidemics are from blood exposures? Why have these risks persisted? And what 
is to be done?
Points To Consider  looks to the future and recommends new strategies that 
people and governments can adopt to ensure that healthcare and cosmetic 
services do not transmit HIV, and to reliably stop the worst HIV/AIDS 
epidemics.
