Topic Overview: It's time to step up to the plate in dealing with blood and body fluid exposures! This presentation will cover all the bases, from identifying a blood and body fluid exposure, collecting the details, and obtaining information on who was involved, as well as the how, what, where and when of the exposure. Consents and risk review will also be discussed.
First Base: Identify steps for HIV testing for the source and the exposed person, and follow-up needed. Discuss prophylaxis and when it should be used. Review recent research that shows occupationally acquired HIV is now rare.
Second Base: Identify steps for Hepatitis B testing for the source and exposed person. Highlight immunization and discuss non-responders to Hepatitis B.
Third Base: Identify steps for Hepatitis C testing for the source and exposed person, including use of the PCR, RNA test.
Home Run: No Conversions!
