[MCOH-EH] Delayed Source Patient HIV Results

[Hayden, Jamie R]

Hello,

I am interested in understanding what other organizations do for blood and body fluid exposures for if/when a source patient's HIV test results are not back before the Employee Health Clinic closes. Does a clinician follow up the next business day since HIV PEP can be initiated within 72 hours of exposure? Do you start the employee on HIV PEP until the results are received?

Or does a clinician stay on-call to receive those results later in the evening and follows up with the employee once the results are received? If this is the case and the employee requires HIV PEP due to a positive HIV test result, where does the individual present to obtain the medications?

Any information would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
Jamie
