solid needle statsics

i will moduring an average stay abroad of 2.3 and 1.2 years, respectively. 235 of the 337 accidents described involved solid needles. Given an estimated HIV prevalence in the patient population of 19%, an HIV transmission per accident of 0.3%, and 1.9 percutaneous exposures per year, the occupational HIV risk per health worker per year in countries with high HIV prevalence can be estimated as 0.11%. Most injuries occurred during routine acts and tended to be self-inflicted as a result of negligent needle disposal, recapping errors, cleaning materials for reuse, carelessness due to fatigue, or rushing. Accidents with solid needles were significantly st likely be kicked off after this but people are saying no to soild needles .i found these stastics    .

i am just writing this cause i am confused

Your article had to do with needle sticks in 1995. Here is what the cdc says 2010, there are no documented cases of transmission outside of a health care setting.
Lancents are not hollowcore needles.
