National guidelines for post-exposure prophylaxis after non-occupational exposure to HIV.
نویسنده
چکیده
these guidelines outline the management of individuals who have been exposed (or suspect they have been exposed) to hiV in the non-occupational setting. since they were originally developed in 2001, there have been advances in knowledge of hiV pathogenesis, treatment and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (Npep). there are currently no data from randomised controlled trials of the use of Npep, and still many gaps in the scientific data, with assumptions made accordingly about the direction of management.

We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients presenting to a publicly-funded HIV clinic in Seattle, Washington for nPEP between 2000 and 2010 (N = 360). nPEP prescriptions were provided for 324 (90%) patients; 83% of prescription decision...
متن کاملProposed recommendations for the management of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis after sexual, injecting drug or other exposures in Europe.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is the standard of care for a healthcare worker (HCW) accidentally exposed to an HIV infected source person (occupational exposure), but this is not the case for non-occupational exposures. Very few national guidelines exist for the management of non-occupational exposures to HIV in Europe, contrarily to the occupational ones. The administration of non-occupation...
