Abjay, if you use a 4th generation HIV test that includes antigen testing, you can just do the followup employee test at 6 weeks and 4 months post exposure.
Moving to this led us to consolidate the schedule so we do HCV Ab testing at 4 months also. In high risk exposures to HCV we add HCV PCR testing at 6 weeks. So it’s pretty simple, just 2 dates for followup testing.
If you use a 3rd generation HIV test you have more followup dates.

List,
I am creating a one page table that our providers can follow for follow-up testing for exposure to BBP (source testing, testing of the exposed at 6, 12, 24 weeks and so on). Can anyone share their versions of such "tables" with me?
Although the creating of such a table/algorithm itself is non-problematic, I do not want to "overload" the page by too much information (planning to add items such as anti-HIV PEP best within 72 hours, etc.) and would appreciate seeing a few examples!
Thanks,
Abhijay
