A needle stick injury, percutaneous injury, or percutaneous exposure incident or sharps injury is the penetration of the skin by a needle which has been in contact with blood, tissue or other body fluids before the exposure.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 385,000 sharps-related injuries occur annually among health care workers in hospitals alone. Over 800K in the Health Care Industry Annually
(CDC) Blood-borne pathogens and workplace sharps injuries. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are 3 of the most common blood-borne pathogens from which health care workers are at risk.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that exposure to HlV-infected blood is 0.3% (i.e., three-tenths of one percent (%),   or about 1 in 300).  Stated another way, 99.7% of  needle stick.

WORK-RELATED BLOOD BORNE PATHOGEN EXPOSURE: SERIOUS
RISKS FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS

Every day, health care workers are exposed to dangerous and deadly blood borne pathogens through contaminated needle sticks, sharps, or splash exposures. It is one of the greatest risks faced by the frontline health care worker. Every percutaneous needle stick and sharps injury carries a risk of infection from blood borne pathogens. Yet, these exposures often have been considered “part of the job.” Health care workers primarily are exposed to these pathogens via contaminated needle stick and sharps injuries. You probably know at least one colleague who has sustained an injury, or perhaps you have been stuck yourself. It is important that you and your colleagues fully understand these risks.
THE FACTS ABOUT OCCUPATIONAL INFECTION
Every year, health care workers experience between 600,000 and 800,000 exposures to blood (United States Department of Labor-Occupational Safety and Health Administration [USDOL-OSHA], 2012). Registered nurses working at the bedside sustain an overwhelming majority of these injuries (Perry, Parker, & Jagger, 2012). These exposures carry the risk of infection with Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. Each of these viruses poses a different risk if a health care worker is exposed. More than 20 other infections can be transmitted through needle sticks, including syphilis, malaria, and herpes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2012). At least 5,000 health care workers are estimated to contract serious infections annually from needle stick and sharps injuries (International Health Care Worker Safety Center, 2012). According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), the design of the device can increase the risk of injury. Specific features make certain devices more dangerous.
