Background

  • Can be sexual or non-sexual; consensual or non-consensual; and heterosexual or homosexual

Management

Risk Assessment

  • If the source person is available and consents to testing, this can be done to more accurately risk stratify the exposure
Risk of HIV-positive source
Risk Examples
substantial HIV-positive with detectable viral load
HIV status unknown, but from a population with high prevalence such as MSM or PWID
low but nonzero HIV positive and believed to have undetectable viral load, with concomitant STI at time of exposure
negligible or none confirmed HIV negative
HIV positive with confirmed viral load <40 copies/mL without known STI at time of exposure
HIV status unknown, in the general population
Risk of HIV transmission per act by exposure type from an HIV-positive source
Risk Exposure Estimated risk per act %
Very high Transfusion 92.5
High Anal (receptive) 1.38
Needle sharing 0.63
Moderate Anal (insertive) 0.11
Vaginal (receptive) 0.08
Vaginal (insertive) 0.04
Low Oral sex (giving)
Oral sex (receiving)
Oral-anal contact
Sharing sex toys
Blood on compromised skin


Risk of HIV-Positive Source Risk From Exposure Action
substantial low PEP not required
moderate or high initiate PEP
low low PEP not required
moderate or high consider PEP
negligible or none low PEP not required
moderate or high PEP not required

Antiretroviral Therapy

Investigations

Investigation Baseline Week 12 Notes
CBC X
ALT X repeat at 2 weeks if abnormal
creatinine X repeat at 2 weeks if abnormal
hepatitis A serology X
hepatitis B serology X includes HBsAb, HBsAg, and HBcAb
pregnancy test X
HIV serology X X repeat at 6 months if hepatitis C seroconversion
hepatitis C serology X X
gonorrhea and chlamydia X X urine, throat, and rectum, depending on reported sexual activity
syphilis serology X X

Follow-Up

  • Initial visit; follow-up at 4-6 weeks; then repeat bloodwork at 12 weeks to 4 months
  • Take advantage of the opportunity to counsel patients on STIs, substance use, etc.
