* If drug resistance is a concern, obtain expert consultation. Initiation of PEP should not be delayed pending expert consultation and because expert consultati
on
alone cannot substitute for fact-to-face counseling, resources should be available to provide immediate evaluation and follow-up care for
all exposures.
The designation, “con
sider PEP,” indicates that PEP is optional and should be based on an individualized decision between the exposed person and the treating
clinician. Howeve
r, consider basic 2-drug PEP for a source with HIV risk factors, or occurs in a setting where exposure to HIV-infected persons is likely.
§
If PEP is offered and taken, and the source is later determined to be HIV negative, PEP should be discontinued.
For skin exposures, follow-up is indicated only if there is evidence of compromised skin integrity (e.g., dermatitis, abrasion, or open wound).
