U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines for the Management of Occupational Exposures to HIV and Recommendations for Postexposure Prophylaxis
(November/December 2005 OSHA Watch)
Although recommendations for follow-up testing, monitoring, and counseling of exposed HCP are unchanged from those published previously, greater emphasis is needed on improving follow-up care provided to exposed HCP.
As new antiretroviral agents for treatment of HIV infection and additional information concerning early HIV infection and prevention of HIV transmission become available, the PHS Interagency Working Group will assess the need to update these guidelines. Updates will be published periodically as appropriate.
