Subject: Body Piercing -Reply

Katryne - We have had a string of calls on body piercing. Most of
them are after the fact, and the questions are related to the
possibility of acquiring HIV from the tatooing needles. We try to
give education to the caller, and make them aware of other
bloodborne pathogens, such as hepatitis B. In conversations we
have had here, I think the majority feel that these establishments
need to be regulated to protect the public.
