Where can a clinician find information about occupational exposure to HIV or post-exposure treatment for HIV for health care providers?
The National Clinicians’ Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Hotline (PEPline) at 1-888-448-4911 offers treating clinicians up-to-the-minute advice on managing occupational exposures (i. e., needlesticks, splashes, etc.) to HIV, hepatitis and other blood-borne pathogens. PEPline clinicians will respond to your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Clinicians will help assess the risk of the exposure, discuss the most recent post-exposure prophylaxis protocols, and review specific treatment and follow-up options. Written materials supporting the telephone discussion are sent by mail or fax whenever needed.
