How Can Persons with AIDS Prevent Foodborne Illness?
When ordering food from the deli department, be sure the clerk washes his hands between handling raw and cooked items, or puts on new plastic gloves. Don’t buy cooked ready-to-eat items which are touching raw items or are displayed in the same case. Although the risk associated with foods from deli counters is relatively low, persons at risk may choose to avoid these foods or thoroughly reheat luncheon meats and hot dogs before eating.
