Immediate action
Wash. Encourage bleeding. Notify A&E or Occupational Health within 1 hour. HIV PEP best <1–2h, up to 72h.
Occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
Decision support for a significant occupational exposure to blood or body fluids — sharps injury, mucocutaneous splash or bite — in healthcare and other at-risk workers. HIV PEPSE follows BASHH/EAGA; HBV and surveillance follow the UKHSA Green Book Chapter 12 occupational pathway, alongside your local Trust Occupational Health policy.

Under the physician's clinical judgement
- Time-critical decisions — clinical judgement takes precedence over the wizard; do not delay the first PEP dose to complete the tool.
- Testing the worker requires their informed consent; source-person testing requires the source's own consent (GMC).
- Confidentiality — the source's identity and results are not shared with the exposed worker.
- Completion of the significant occupational exposure form is mandatory for percutaneous / mucocutaneous exposures.
