MUSC Occupational Bloodborne Pathogen Protocol
Off Campus Procedure Packet
MUSC has established these protocols in accordance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard and Center for
Disease Control recommendations for Occupational Blood and Body Fluid exposure. CDC strongly recommends HIV
prophylaxis start as soon as possible (ASAP) in the event of occupational bloodborne exposure, please perform the
following emergency medical care:
Instructions for Employees/Students:
Know or carry your Hepatitis B (HBV) vaccination information and your HBV antibody results
In the event of a blood or body fluid exposure:
1.
Wash the site immediately with soap and water. Splashes to the eye should be flushed
for 15 minutes with water or a Liter of Lactated Ringers.
2.
Go to the nearest Emergency Facility immediately, preferably to a Hospital Emergency
Department.
3.
Report the BBP exposure immediately by calling the Employee Health Services (EHS) at
(843) 792-2991 Monday – Friday 7:30am – 4:00pm.
Students report by calling Student Health Services (SHS) at (843) 792-3664 Monday – Friday
8:00 am – 4:30 pm.

Hepatitis B Prophylaxis Following Blood Exposure
Hepatitis C (HCV) Exposure:
1. HCV Negative Source – No treatment is indicated.
2. HCV Positive Source – Instruct the Employee/Student to contact their Employee/Student Health
provider for follow up. There is currently no prophylaxis for HCV exposure.

BLOODBORNE PATHOGEN EXPOSURE:
GUIDELINES AND RISKS
This data is from the Updated U.S. Public Health services guidelines for the Management of Occupational Exposures to HBV, HCV, and HIV
Recommendations for Post exposure Prophylaxis; CDC MMRW Recommendations & Reports, June 29, 2001 / 50 (RR11); 1-42
Exposure that may place a health care provider at risk for contracting Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), or Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is defined as a percutaneous injury (example, a needlestick or cut with a sharp objet)
or contact of mucous membrane / non-intact skin (example, exposed skin that is chapped, abraded, or afflicted with dermatitis)
with blood, tissue, or other body fluids that are potentially infectious.
Blood
Amniotic fluid
Cerebral spinal fluid
Synovial fluid
Pleural fluid
Peritoneal fluid
Pericardial fluid
Body fluids with visible blood
Semen & Vaginal secretion
Feces, nasal secretions, saliva, sputum, sweat, tears, urine, and vomitus are not considered potentially infected unless they contain
blood.
Any direct contact (example, contact without barrier protection) to concentrated virus in a research
Laboratory is considered an exposure that requires clinical evaluation.
For Human Bites, the clinical evaluation must include the possibility that both the person bitten and the person
who inflicted the bite was exposed to bloodborne pathogens if a bite results in blood exposure.
Healthcare providers should report occupational exposures immediately after they occur, particularly
Because HBIG and Hepatitis B vaccine (in addition to HIV post exposure prophylaxis) are most likely to be
effective if administered as soon after the exposure as possible.
Risk for Occupational Transmission
HBV
HBV infection is well recognized risk for healthcare providers.
HBV has been demonstrated to survive in dried blood for at least 1 week
The risk of HBV infection is primarily related to the degree of contact with blood & hepatitis B e antigen
(HbeAg) status of the source person
HCV
HCV is not transmitted efficiently through occupational exposure to blood. The average incidence of antiHCV seroconversion after accidental percutaneous exposure from an HCV +positive source is 1.8%.
Data is limited on survival of HCV in the environment.
HIV
The average risk of HIV transmission after a percutaneous exposure to HIV infected blood had been estimated
to approx. 0.3%; and after a mucous membrane exposure approx. 0.09%
4 week post exposure prophylaxis with positive HIV exposure noting that the initiation of antiviral therapy be
administered as soon after the exposure as possible
Introduction
Exposure to another person’s blood or body fluids by needlestick, splash, or other exposure may place a worker at risk for exposure
to HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or other infectious agents. Medication is available that may reduce a worker’s risk of HIV
transmission. A vaccine is available for Hepatitis B. There is currently no vaccine available for Hepatitis C or recommendation for
Post exposure chemoprophylaxis.
Risk of Work Related Bloodborne Infection
Actual transmission of HIV in the workplace is rare. Studies of healthcare workers show that even the greatest risk of HIV
infection due to injury with a hollow needlestick with HIV position blood into the skin is 0.3%. That means that even with the
highest risk, the chances of getting HIV from one such exposure is 1 in 300. The risk of HIV for splashes to the face and eyes is 1
in 900. Risk factors for hepatitis infection depend on illness in the source, the type of hepatitis virus, and previous vaccination
status. Workers should always seek medical care immediately for any bloodborne exposure.
Management of Work Related HIV Exposure
Treatment for blood or body fluid exposure is based on recommendations by the CDC (Center for Disease Control). Only workers
with the highest risk of HIV exposure should receive post exposure combination therapy.
Follow Up When you are seen for a blood or body fluid exposure, you will be given a follow-up appointment. Further follow-up
depends upon these results. Exposure management decisions are made by Employee Health Services (EHS).

INFORMATION FOR HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV) TESTING
HIV INFORMATION: HIV is spread through contact with certain body fluids from an infected person.
This can occur during sexual intercourse, receiving infected blood products, exposure to blood and
infectious body fluids, during the birth process, or by sharing needles for intravenous drug use. HIV is not
known to be spread by other contact, and infection can be prevented by avoiding the contact described
above.
OCCUPATIONAL HIV EXPOSURE: The body fluids to which Universal Precautions apply have been
defined by the CDC as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and spinal, synovial, pleural, peritoneal,
pericardial, and amniotic fluids, but not urine, feces, sweat, saliva, or tears, unless they contain visible
blood. All but four of the published accounts of occupational HIV transmission have arisen from puncture
wounds from sharp instruments freshly contaminated with HIV-infected blood or blood containing body
fluids. In persons sustaining percutaneous exposure to blood from a known HIV positive individual, the
risk of transmission is about 4 in 1000.
TEST INFORMATION: The test is done on a sample of your blood. The purpose is to look for the
presence of antibodies to HIV. Antibodies are produced in the blood in response to infection. Most people
will develop antibodies to HIV within six months of infection.
CONFIDENTIALITY: The HIV test results will be considered confidential and released only to the
health professionals who have responsibility for your care, and to the S.C. Department of Health and
Environmental Control (DHEC), as required by state law. Information about this may not be released to
any other persons without your written approval, except by a valid court order or subpoena. Due to the
highly confidential nature of the test, results will be given only in person to the employee being tested.
Therefore, it will be the responsibility of the employee to schedule a brief follow-up visit a week later to
receive their results.
NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS: A negative result means that no antibodies were detected. On rare
occasions, this can occur if you are infected but have not yet developed antibodies to HIV.
POSITIVE TEST RESULTS: A positive test result means you are infected with HIV. A positive test does
not mean you have already developed AIDS. Your physician will discuss with you the need for further
testing. Counseling will be provided to you at the time you receive your test results. An HIV test has been
ordered for you. This test is entirely voluntary and you can refuse it without stopping your medical care.
I understand the above information and have had the opportunity to have my questions answered. I will
follow-up with EHS to receive the lab results in one week.

Consent or Refusal of Post-Exposure Chemoprophylaxis Treatment
I understand that while I am taking post-exposure HIV prophylaxis and for an additional month following
completion of therapy it is important to:
● Either abstain from sexual activity or use condoms with or without another form of birth control in
order to avoid becoming pregnant
● Either abstain from sexual activity or use condoms in order to avoid the sexual transmission of HIV.
● Discontinue or delay starting breastfeeding
● Refrain from donating blood, blood products, organs, tissue or semen.
I have been given the opportunity to ask questions about post-exposure prophylaxis.
I would like to take the post-exposure prophylaxis and agree to abide by the treatment protocol.
