Accidental Exposure Therapeutic Guidelines

DOWNLOAD: Accidental Exposure Therapeutic Guidelines

The Accidental Exposure Therapeutic Guidelines are intended to assist healthcare workers caring for persons who have been exposed to HIV through blood and body fluids in the work place or community.

The guidelines provide a framework for a program of expert advice and prompt antiretroviral prophylaxis for accidental exposures in the healthcare setting and community.  This program does not provide coverage for events that arise in the course of an individual's personal life, such as consensual adult sex or incidents in drug-using environments.
