A New Jersey surgical center may have exposed more than 3,000 patients to HIV and hepatitis, state officials said.
People who received a procedure at the HealthPlus Surgery Center in Saddle Brook, New Jersey between Jan. 1 and Sept. 7 have been requested to take a blood test for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C after “deficiencies in infection control” in the medical center’s cleaning and medication injection processes put them at risk.
