[Editor's note: This is the first part of a two-part series on a new guideline from the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) regarding health care providers who are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this issue, we give you an overview of what the guideline did and did not include, which procedures are at greatest risk of transmission to patients, and the recommendations for infected staff. In next month's issue, we discuss how to decide which workers to test and further explain the new guideline.]
