There is a girl who infected by Hiv in a child care what are the implications for families and other childere?

Licensed child care providers are required to learn good hygienic practices. Following these guidelines should prevent the spread of HIV or other blood borne diseases from one child to another. I would be more concerned for the health of the HIV+ child catching a childhood disease from the other children than the other way around. An illness like Chickenpox could be devastating to this child.

does she work there are attend the day care. Spread of infection is the biggest implication I can see.

If it's a child, don't let the kiddos bite her!

I work in child care so it's sorta one of the "jokes" about how to get a biter to stop biting... let the biters parents know that one of the other kids she bit has HIV and that would pretty much guarantee that the parents would play a bigger part in the fact that she's biting. Not something I'd ever do, but that's why I said a "joke"

NOTHING PROVIDED YOU FOLLOW UNIVERSAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. Avoid bodily fluids urine blood etc.

As long as there is no broken skin that the child has been exposed to or if another child came in contact with mucous membranes. You can get it while shaking hands or drinking from the same cup. Usually blood borne. Wipe away any blood or other body fluids.
