«Breaking News» more than 3,000 patients possibly exposed to HIV, hepatitis in New Jersey surgery center

The New Jersey Department of Health says more than 3,000 patients at a surgery center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Officials say patients who had procedures done at the HealthPlus Surgery Center in Saddle Brook between January 2018 and Sept. 7, 2018 may have been exposed.

The center was closed by the Department of Health from September 7 to September 28, according to NorthJersey.com.

 Surgery center administrator Betty McCabe says the exposure was due to 'deficiencies in infection control' involving the cleaning of instruments and injection of medications. 

HealtPlus Surgery Center in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, was closed by the health department for much of September

McCabe says 3,778 patients are being urged to get their blood tested.

The health department says the risk of infection is low, and no illnesses have been reported. The department called it 'an abundance of caution' to suggest that people be tested.

Deficiencies in the cleaning of instruments and injection of medications may have exposed patients to HIV or hepatitis B and C

McCabe says the center is offering to pay medical costs associated with testing.

'It is important to note that to date, there have not been reports of any infections or illness related to the investigation,' McCabe said. 

'We recognize that this may be upsetting to our patients, and we are taking this matter very seriously and taking steps to assist them during this process.'

2. Diagnoses are falling among white heterosexuals, black and Asian gay men for the first time. 

3. 70% of people who start to take HIV treatment and achieve an undetectable viral load also see their CD4 cell count (an indicator of immune system strength) increase above the threshold of 500 cells.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
