Summary: 

Okay now.  It appears quite definite from all these postings here that that
case with that nurse resulted not from a 'needle-stick' but from an
accidental injection of a SUBSTANTIAL amount of ARTERIAL blood, being that
no one has said anything which directly contradicts this.  Would someone
care to either find a reference which denies this, or finally admit that
simple needle-sticks are not sufficient to transmit aids.
