Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure: HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis Regimen

Take immediate action for exposure to bloodborne pathogens like HIV and Hepatitis C through a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimen. Administer PEP within 48 hours for increased-risk exposures like needle sticks or contact with infected fluids. Coordinate evacuation if needed and conduct Rapid Diagnostic Tests. Educate on risk factors and continue monitoring and treatment. Ensure PEP kit contents are properly labeled and include essential items for testing and collection of samples.

1. Actions to take for exposure to bloodborne pathogens (HIV, Hep C) HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis Regimen EXPOSURES with increased risk: Needle Stick, Contact with infected or suspected person's fluids, OR contact with assailant body fluid via mucous membrane, non-intact skin or bite; OR unknown exposure (e.g, drug assisted) [AFRICA is considered High Risk] IMMEDIATELY: NO RISK EXPOSURES: Exposures where skin remains intact where there is no anal, vaginal, or oral penetration; no contact with source body fluids via mucous membrane, Begin Soldier Treatment PEP: Delay of PEP administration greater than 48 hours significantly diminishes efficacy of treatment regime. Begin Coordinating for EVAC to Landstuhl: Due to limited PEP supply on hand, evacuation should be completed within 72 hours. Is Source available for RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test)? No /UNK Is Contact Source HIV Negative? No Use Triple Drug Therapy, currently the best combination: Dolutegravir x 1 tab per day, plus Truvada (two drug combo) X1 Tab per day Pre-treat w/Zofran or Phenergan to offset nausea/vomiting from meds Yes Yes HIV Conduct RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test) on Source: 1 each, HIV, Hep B, Hep C [do not use saliva, use blood] Is Source RDT Positive?
