DESCRIPTION
Inadvertent (non-occupational) exposure to infectious material from HIV and hepatitis B sero-positive persons often requires clinical judgement and includes:
- human bites (requires hepatitis B, but not HIV prophylaxis)
- sharing of needles during recreational drug use
- consensual sexual exposure, burst condoms
- contact sports with blood exposure
Management of inadvertent (non-occupational) HIV and hepatitis B exposure is the same as for occupational exposure. See: Post exposure prophylaxis, occupational.
For exposures of a sexual nature (e.g. consensual sex with a burst condom), consider emergency contraception and STI prophylaxis on a case-by-case basis – see: Post exposure prophylaxis, rape and sexual assault.
