 AB    In summary, the risk of transmission of HIV and other infectious
       diseases by saliva during CPR training practice is extremely low because
       of low infectious virus titers and properties of saliva that inhibit
       HIV. However, it is necessary to perform decontaminations of mannequins,
       by application of a suitable disinfectant and by a mechanical wipe-down
       with a sponge, to cleanse the external buccal area of the mannequin
       after contact with each CPR trainee. For health care and public safety
       professionals training and performance of MTM ventilation during CPR
       should be carried out with barrier devices such as the bag-valve-mask or
       face shield. Guidelines and standards of the AHA, American Red Cross,
       and the CDC for prevention of infection during CPR and emergency cardiac
       care are more fully available elsewhere. If the recommended procedures
       are followed, the risk of acquiring HIV from saliva during MTM should be
       extremely low.
