Best Answer

HIV is BSL-2 pathogen. Workers require a reasonble level of training and must be supervised. A BSL-2 lab must have a biological safety cabinet. HIV is considered a low risk pathogen because it is hard to catch in a lab environment if precautions are taken with sharps such as needle and scalpel blades. Negative pressure is not required and lab coats and protective googles are the only protective gear required.
