[MCOH-EH] Bloodborne pathogen employee testing

[Hudson, T. Warner]

We get all the baseline labs on exposed employee and source if we can initially. Had two baseline surprises; an HIV+ and HCV + not known by the employee previously, in last few months.  Got them into personal care right away which they greatly appreciated.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Bloodborne pathogen employee testing

We are wondering what everyone is doing for exposure testing? Is it a requirement to test the employee who was exposed or can they wait on the source patient's results. Cannot find direction on this in either OSHA sources or CDC so if anyone can cite the location that would be helpful. Thanks for any help,
