Good Afternoon,

I would like to hear what others are doing for blood borne pathogen serial test timing.  We had been doing testing at 6 weeks, 3  and 6 months for HIV, Hep C and Hep B.  However, looking at the CDC guidelines, depending on the pathogen, baseline and at 6 months may be all that is recommended.  I am in the midst of updating our policy to reflect what the CDC recommends but wanted to get your input as well.

Thank you!

Karen
