4 HIV Occupational PEP

5 Case A 45-year-old offender janitor working in Health Services is cleaning behind a trash can and is stuck with a needle in the hand. The needle is hollow-bore with visible blood in the syringe and on the needle. He was wearing gloves but has a skin puncture and noticed bleeding. He washed the area thoroughly. He has no past medical history. Are you concerned about this exposure? What qualifies as an exposure?

11 us public health service guideline Updated US Public Health Service Guidelines for the Management of Occupational Exposures to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Recommendations for Postexposure Prophylaxis 2013 David T. Kuhar, MD; 1 David K. Henderson, MD; 2 Kimberly A. Struble, PharmD; 3 Walid Heneine, PhD; 4 Vasavi Thomas, RPh, MPH; 4 Laura W. Cheever, MD, ScM; 5 Ahmed Gomaa, MD, ScD, MSPH; 6 Adelisa L. Panlilio, MD; 1 for the US Public Health Service Working Group This report updates US Public Health Service recommendations for the management of healthcare personnel (HCP) who experience occupational exposure to blood and/or other body fluids that might contain human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although the principles of exposure management remain unchanged, recommended HIV postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimens and the duration of HIV followup testing for exposed personnel have been updated. This report emphasizes the importance of primary prevention strategies, the prompt reporting and management of occupational exposures, adherence to recommended HIV PEP regimens when indicated for an exposure, expert consultation in management of exposures, follow-up of exposed HCP to improve adherence to PEP, and careful monitoring for adverse events related to treatment, as well as for virologic, immunologic, and serologic signs of infection. To ensure timely postexposure management and administration of HIV PEP, clinicians should consider occupational exposures as urgent medical concerns, and institutions should take steps to ensure that staff are aware of both the importance of and the institutional mechanisms available for reporting and seeking care for such exposures. The following is a summary of recommendations: (1) PEP is recommended when occupational exposures to HIV occur; (2) the HIV status of the exposure source patient should be determined, if possible, to guide need for HIV PEP; (3) PEP medication regimens should be started as soon as possible after occupational exposure to HIV, and they should be continued for a 4-week duration; (4) new recommendation PEP medication regimens should contain 3 (or more) antiretroviral drugs (listed in Appendix A) for all occupational exposures to HIV; (5) expert consultation is recommended for any occupational exposures to HIV and at a minimum for situations described in Box 1; (6) close follow-up for exposed personnel (Box 2) should be provided that includes counseling, baseline and follow-up HIV testing, and monitoring for drug toxicity; follow-up appointments should begin within 72 hours of an HIV exposure; and (7) new recommendation if a newer fourth-generation combination HIV p24 antigen HIV antibody test is utilized for follow-up HIV testing of exposed HCP, HIV testing may be concluded 4 months after exposure (Box 2); if a newer testing platform is not available, follow-up HIV testing is typically concluded 6 months after an HIV exposure.

Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2013;34:

13 2013 USPHS Occupational PEP Guidelines Number of Antiretroviral Medications to Use As less toxic and better-tolerated medications for the treatment of HIV infection are now available, minimizing the risk of PEP noncompletion, and the optimal number of medications needed for HIV PEP remains unknown, the PHS working group recommends prescribing 3 (or more) tolerable drugs as PEP for all occupational exposures to HIV.

21 2013 USPHS Occupational PEP Guidelines Additional Key Points PEP should be initiated as soon as possible after exposure, preferably within hours PEP should be provided for 28 days Whenever possible, the HIV status of the source patient should be determined, but should NOT delay starting PEP An exposed individual should be advised to use precautions (eg. barrier contraception, avoid blood donations, pregnancy and, if possible, breast feeding) during first 6-12 weeks after exposure Source: Kuhar DT, et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2013;34:

22 2013 USPHS Occupational PEP Guidelines Situations for Which Expert Consultation Advised Delayed exposure report (eg. longer than 72 hours) Unknown source (eg. needle in sharps disposal) Known or suspected pregnancy in exposed person Exposed person breast-feeding Known or suspected ARV drug resistance in source patient Serious medical illness in exposed persons Toxicity occurring in exposed person taking PEP regimen Source: Kuhar DT, et al.

24 What if the Source Patient has an Undetectable Viral Load? A 32-year-old physician has a needlestick injury on her hand that involves an HIV-infected patient. The source patient is taking tenofovir-emtricitabine-efavirenz (Atripla) and had an undetectable HIV RNA level 3 months prior. Based on USPHS 2013 Guidelines, would you recommend antiretroviral PEP for this physician?

25 Would you offer PEP if the source pa;ent had an undetectable viral load when checked 1 month ago? A. Yes B. No

26 2013 USPHS Occupational PEP Guidelines PEP when Source Patient has Undetectable HIV RNA Level Exposure to a source patient with an undetectable serum viral load does not eliminate the possibility of HIV transmission or the need for PEP and follow-up testing. While the risk of transmission from an occupational exposure to a source patient with an undetectable serum viral load is thought to be very low, PEP should still be offered. Source: Kuhar DT, et al.

29 HIV Non-Occupational PEP (npep)

30 Case Two offenders are caught engaging in anal sex without a condom. Although this falls under Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), the officers believe it to be consensual, and bring the offenders directly to segregation. Medical incidentally finds out about the event the next day and notes that one of the offenders has HIV. His HIV RNA level is 2,340 copies/ml and he is not currently taking ART.

31 What would you offer the uninfected offender for HIV PEP? A. Tenofovir- emtricitabine B. Tenofovir- emtricitabine plus raltegravir C. Tenofovir- emtricitabine plus another ARV D. Something else E. I wouldn t offer PEP

35 What is considered Substantial Risk? Substantial Risk Exposure of - Vagina, rectum, eye, mouth or other mucous membrane, nonintact skin, or percutaneous contact With - Blood, semen, vaginal secretions, rectal secretions, breast milk, or any body fluid that is visibly contaminated with blood When - The source is known to be HIV infected Negligible Risk Exposure of - Vagina, rectum, eye, mouth or other mucous membrane, intact or nonintact skin, or percutaneous contact With - Urine, nasal secretions, saliva, sweat, or tears if not visibly contaminated with blood Regardless - Of the known or suspected HIV status of the source

37 2-Drug vs. 3-Drug ART for npep The recommendation for a three-drug HAART regimen is based on the assumption that the maximal suppression of viral replication afforded by HAART will provide the best chance of preventing infection in a person who has been exposed. Clinicians and patients who are concerned about potential adherence and toxicity issues associated with a three-drug HAART regimen might consider the use of a two-drug regimen.

38 Tenofovir-Emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) plus Raltegravir for npep Mayer et al, JAIDS, participants enrolled at Fenway Health - 98% male, 83% MSM, mean age 33 Prescribed TDF-FTC plus raltegravir for npep 85 had 3-months follow-up 57% finished the regimen as prescribed - Comparable to historic controls (AZT-3TC or TDF-FTC + PI/r) - Biggest limitation = missed second dose of raltegravir by 27% Well tolerated and fewer side effects than historic controls Mayer K, et al. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2012;59(4):

39 Other Reminders Regarding npep Remember possible reverse exposure - Sexual assault victim may have HIV or other transmissible infection - Evaluate all involved offenders - Remember to screen for STDs Human bites and altercations may lead to exposure - For human bites, clinical evaluation must include the possibility that both the person bitten and the person who inflicted the bite were exposed to bloodborne pathogens
