Our company has performed both HIV and Hep C serial testing on HCW’s that had an exposure to source patient that was positive for either one of the diseases (or if source unknown/untested).  I am curious if your facility tests for both or just the component that the source patient was positive for.  Example, Hep C positive source-do you test for both HIV and Hep C on HCW serial testing or just the Hep C?

Thank you,
