Upon the suggestion of the hospital, the center August 5 continued to take blood of 18 other medical workers for tests and the result is reported negative.
Before, a pregnant woman from the northern province of Quang Ninh July 4 had to rush to the hospital for emergency as she suffered heavy bleeding in the womb and no pressure was measured and heart nearly stopped beating. Doctors of the hospital carried out intensive treatment and performed a surgery in the examination room to save her.
Due to the urgent situation, the pregnant had not been tested and surgeons have not known the patients contracting HIV, accordingly they did not wear proper devices against HIV transmission.
