The provision of antiretroviral treatment in developing countries led to the medical care of an increasing number of patients infected with HIV and other viruses and to an increase in invasive procedures practiced by healthcare personnel. Healthcare workers are particularly exposed to the risk of transmission of pathogens during a blood exposure accident (AES). In 2012, the problem of infectious risks related to venepuncture remains a concern for health care in Africa: lack of awareness and lack of resources, inadequate equipment and high prevalence of infection in the population, increase in invasive procedures performed related to extension the management of these diseases and access to health care for the population.
