According to a blurb in the Pittsburgh Press a couple days ago that got thrown out at work (we've got one guy who's so fanatical about keeping the place neat that he throws out the paper BEFORE he reads it! :-} ), in California, people who are stuck with a contaminated needle in a medical setting are being given a prescription of AZT. I'm not sure, but I suspect the idea is to see if AZT will protect someone from a clearly defined one-time exposure to HIV. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks for passing the info on, if you do! -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!129!81!Rob.Carr Internet: Rob.Carr@f81.n129.z1.fidonet.org
