Abstract: (Producer) This tape describes which body fluids are most infectious, ways of identifying patients at higher risk and the appropriate infection control measures specific to prenatal, labor and delivery, postpartum and nursery settings. It acknowledges nurses' fears, presenting interviews with nurses who tell of their first encounters with infected women and bodies. An interview with a young mother, told she was antibody positive the day she was due to deliver, poignantly presents the issue from a patient perspective.
