 AB    The complications of HIV infection may involve almost any organ system,
       often resulting in severe dysfunction that may be life threatening.
       Other disorders not associated with HIV infection may occur in
       HIV-infected patients and may be severe enough to require critical care.
       The risk for HIV infection may be unrecognized or undiagnosed at the
       time of admission to the intensive care unit, placing nurses and other
       health care providers at risk for the transmission of disease. In the
       critical care setting, compliance with infection control requires the
       integration of specific policies and procedures into crises-based
       practices.
