AIDS, HIV, and Other Bloodborne Pathogens Policy (See Policy #1104)

The University of Nebraska desires to provide a healthy, safe, and secure work environment and has established a code of conduct for all campuses of the University of Nebraska system.

UNMC is committed to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease. UNMC protects the rights and welfare of employees, staff, students, volunteers, and patients in addressing employment concerns about AIDS, HIV infection, and other bloodborne pathogens.

UNMC will be guided by applicable federal and state regulations, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, and legal requirements. UNMC will also consider The Nebraska Medical Center's infection control policies in the development of campus regulations to prevent the spread of potentially infectious agents.
