IAFN’s SAFEta project has a webinar coming up next month, Post Exposure Prophylaxis to HIV: Make it Simple. The session will be held April 30th at 2pm ET. From the announcement:
Non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) should be started rapidly after sexual assault. The CDC treatment guidelines have recommended guidelines in place for occupational exposure since 1996 and non-occupational exposure since 2005. Although the guidelines have been updated and streamlined in subsequent years, healthcare providers still struggle with providing CDC recommended nPEP. The AIDS Education & Training Center (AETC) Program Rural Health Committee, the Georgia Department of Public Health, the IAFN and the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership has developed a Post-Sexual Exposure nPEP Toolkit. This webinar will provide an overview of the resources and materials that are provided in the toolkit and the circumstances when it should be used.
Objectives:
- Identify when HIV nPEP should be considered post sexual assault.
- Recognize recommended regimens of antiretroviral medications are for nPEP.
- List ways to obtain the materials provided in the toolkit for EDs and clinics serving patients who may experience sexual exposure to HIV.
