    Snippet: Infection control measures have been present in various forms since early Greek and Roman times (Smith, Watkins, & Hewlett, 2012) . The identification of AIDS caused by HIV in the early 1980s prompted the introduction of more specific infection control measures, namely universal precaution guidelines (UP) (Centers for Disease Control, 1982 Control, , 1985 Control, , 1987 , to protect health-care workers.

    Document: Infection control measures have been present in various forms since early Greek and Roman times (Smith, Watkins, & Hewlett, 2012) . The identification of AIDS caused by HIV in the early 1980s prompted the introduction of more specific infection control measures, namely universal precaution guidelines (UP) (Centers for Disease Control, 1982 Control, , 1985 Control, , 1987 , to protect health-care workers. In 1996, UP were revised and renamed standard precaution guidelines (SP) (Garner, 1996) . Lam (2011) highlighted the importance of the revisions, which outline specific criteria to be followed to prevent cross-contamination of disease between patients and health-care workers. The original guidelines have been revised several times, usually in reaction to identified risk factors.
