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.

"Going from being a trainee to being a GP can be a really difficult transition. Taking on the administration associated with things like locum work can make that even more difficult.

Ali from LocumDeck showed me how to use their tool to simplify and automate the invoicing and locum form process to save me time and energy. With the free one-year membership for new GPs this was a real no-brainer that meant I could spend more time on the things that really matter, and less time filling in paperwork.

I can't thank Ali enough for her help and the time she has saved me."
