The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that health care workers use gloves, gowns, masks, and protective eyewear when they are likely to be exposed to patients' blood or body fluids; they consider that all patients might be infected. Universal precautions also apply to tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, and amniotic fluid.
