Our post-exposure source and employee get Hep B, Hep C and HIV testing at the time of injury. Our employee gets follow-up testing only if the source is positive for something.

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,
