     SYDNEY, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Australian soldiers and contractors 1 in Iraq might have been exposed to blood-borne diseases such as HIV or hepatitis, as staff at Defense 2's main hospital unit in the Middle East failed to sterilize 3 surgical 4 equipment properly, local media reported on Tuesday.


    Fairfax newspapers reported the safety breach 5 occurred at the AL Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates over a 19 month period, from February 2009 to August 2010, but soldiers were alerted to the problem only a week ago.
    A Defense Department memo 6 to troops has warned that soldiers and contractors(承包商) who passed through the air base hospital near Dubai should ensure they had their blood screened, The Sydney Morning Herald 7 reported.
    "Personnel who underwent a surgical procedure during that period are possibly at risk of acquiring a blood-borne disease," the memo said.
    However, the health alert says the risk to Australian Defense Force personnel is low, as blood-borne diseases within the force are rare and personnel are vaccinated 8 against hepatitis.
    The Defense Force's Surgeon-General, Major General Paul Alexander, wrote the "internal procedural issue" was dealt with by the health system and measures were put in place to prevent a repeat of the error.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
