Basis of Presentation WHO Adult ARV guidelines supplement- Dec 2014 DHHS Aug 2013 PEP guidelines

Risk of Transmission of HIV
Assessment of the exposed person 4th generation ELISA for HIV HBV Vaccination status
Source Patient HIV Testing If possible, determine the HIV status of exposure source Unknown HIV status Window period HBV HCV
Timing and Duration of PEP Effect inversely proportional to time to initiation ASAP preferably within hours Point at which no benefit -not defined PEP should be taken for 4 weeks, if tolerated Appeared protective in occupational and animal studies
Post-exposure prophylaxis ARV regimens-for Adults TDF + 3TC (or FTC) The preferred backbone RAL, LPV/r, ATV/r or DRV/r Preferred third drug EFV Alternative options
ARV contraindicated as PEP Nevirapine
Special Considerations Pregnant Breastfeeding Paediatric
Follow-up of Exposed Patient If 4th-generation (p24 Ag/HIV Ab test) is used: HIV testing at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks after exposure Barrier Protection for partner protection Close follow-up to diagnose toxicities early
