I’d like to hear how others are managing post-exposure with a source patient who shows REACTIVE HCV antibody and HCV RNA DETECT/QUANT 200,000+.  Do you typically perform a baseline panel on employee with a repeat in 6 weeks, 4 months, and 6 months.  Other than counseling the patient to practice safe sex and report any symptoms, is there anything else you would recommend?
