[QUOTE="Rifkah, post: 1779712, member: 473508"] This is really worrying advice you're receiving. Stick with CDC. Certain chemicals can be used to clean equipment to denature viruses and bacteria. It is likely the person who worked on ward was unaware of the special cleaning fluid being used. A "quick wipe" without these chemicals and the drying time they need would not destroy blood borne viruses. Actually HIV is one of the ones you least have to worry about, it's pretty poor at surviving outside the body. It's not sexually transmitted diseases you need to worry about but blood borne ones. But what do I know I just some person on the Internet. [/QUOTE]
