WESTPORT, Mar 18 (Reuters)
About one third of the latex gloves on the market are permeable to
viruses the size of HIV, attendees of the 52nd annual meeting of
the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology heard
Saturday.
Latex Gloves Less Virus-Resistant Than Previously
Thought...
Investigators at the Medical College of Wisconsin say that
viruses the size of the human immunodeficiency virus are small
enough to pass through the pores of about one third of the latex
gloves that are on the market, and that the problem is aggravated
when the gloves become wet. "We showed that the gloves may not be
as effective in preventing the virus from going through when the
gloves become hydrated, and that gloves from different
manufacturers have different properties when hydrated," said Dr.
Viswanath Kurup.
