"New Warning Issued on Danger of Blood Contact During Sports"
"New Warning Issued on Danger of Blood Contact During Sports"
Washington Times (12/07/99) P. A3
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is warning students, teachers, and coaches to be aware of the risk of contracting hepatitis from blood exposure during and after sporting events. The AAP had previously issued a similar warning about HIV, and the group's revised policy statement includes warnings for hepatitis B and C. According to the AAP, anyone who could be exposed to athletes' blood should be vaccinated against hepatitis B, and athletes should be warned not to share such personal products as razors and toothbrushes.
