[MCOH-EH] BBP protocols

[Enass Awad]

Good afternoon:
 In my opinion, I’d the source patient had consented to having their blood
drawn and was informed of the incident , then I don’t see a problem.

While it sounds like an overall low risk exposure , it does help to know
the source patient’s infectious disease profile and if they have blood
drawn in a timely fashion, it helps guide the decision about whether or not
the exposed employee can or should get PEP for HIV.

  A lot of testing and / or treatment sometimes for BBP
is based on individual risk factors and the exposed employee’s anxiety
level about the incident !!

Enass.
