The EC and several international organizations sponsored the 'AIDS and the Workplace' conference in 1990 to address the growing problem of AIDS-infected healthcare workers. One of the most significant results of the conference was a set of recommendations for hand washing, cleaning and decontaminating blood spills and surgical procedures. These recommendations have since become the standard in several European countries.
