Please can I ask my NHS colleagues for advice here. We have a fire fighter who attended an incident and sustained a needle stick injury on Christmas eve. He attended A&E & was given a Hep B booster (although he was already covered) but nothing else. Now its been a while since I worked in the NHS but we used to take bloods & offer 'PEP' has this cahnged? Also I have told him he will need to be screened at 3 months & 6 months for HIV - is this correct as his GP has said 3 months will be sufficient. Ideally I suppose Im looking for some simple guidance that will help both him & me. Can anyone help & Happy New Year to all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
