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
