****!!!!*** "This narrative synthesis aimed to highlight the versatility and suitability of ClO2 in different settings (mostly for waters) and against different viral agents. It may be clear that ClO2 is not a therapeutic product. It cannot be used for healing human or animal tissues, with the exception of skin and mucosa antisepsis." "Bloodborne viruses (HIV-1, HCV, and HBV) may be completely eliminated from medical devices and human fluids after a treatment with 30 mg/L of ClO2 for 30 min."
