The statistical tests used were the Pearson¡¯s chi-square and Fisher¡¯s exact tests (¦Á=0. 05). Results: Most students considered influenza (65. 5%) and hepatitis B (58. 5%) occupational diseases. Almost 30% of the students reported having attended to patients with infectious diseases, especially AIDS. Contact with body fluids or accidental exposure was reported by 12. 7% being 34. 3% by accident with drills; 88. 2% of the students had incomplete immunization coverage due to lack of time in most cases (27%).
