BASHH | HIV post-exposure prophylaxis following sexual exposure

20th February 2012 by Louise Hudman

HIV post-exposure prophylaxisThis guideline looks at the use of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) following sexual exposure. For information on the use of PEP following occupational exposure, the following advice is helpful.

This isn’t something we’re going to come across very often. This is an excellent resource if faced with an affected patient. It gives tables with risks from different exposures (eg anal sex vs sharing needles etc) and the chance of the source being HIV positive depending upon their sexuality and the area they are from, when their status is unknown.

Risk of HIV transmission = risk that source has HIV (where status is unknown) x risk following exposure.

Where the source is known to be HIV positive, the risk of transmission is equal to the risk following exposure.

"LocumDeck is so good and so intuitive that I am lost for words and utterly filled with glee.

It can send an email confirming the sessions that are booked and creates and emails invoices direct to the practice for you. These contain links to your beautifully laid out ‘credentials’ page with all your relevant documents, and a model contract that is all ready for you to accept or edit.

It automatically produces and sends the locum form A, and will produce locum form B. It also acts as the calendar... And it all happens automatically. It is really less than a minute to invoice and do the pension forms, with everything calculated perfectly."
