VA hospital may have infected 1,800 veterans with HIV - CNN.com
"The instruments were supposed to only be put in the cleaning machines, Michael said.The handwashing started in February 2009 and went on until March of this year, the hospital told KSDK.
The hospital has set up a special clinic and education centers to help patients who may have been infected. However, Carnahan said he feels more should be done and those responsible should be disciplined.
"I can only imagine the horror and anger our veterans must be feeling after receiving this letter," Carnahan said. "They have every right to be angry. So am I."
This is not the first time this year a hospital has been in hot water for not following proper procedures."

I don't get it. It says the instruments were handwashed before being placed in the machine. How does that increase the risk of infection?
