Hi all,
I've seen a several posts on here about PEP and using newer options given nPEP and occupational PEP guidelines are form awhile ago. I'm assuming people are typically talking about nPEP.
The occupational PEP guidelines from 2013 still recommend RAL + FTC/TDF as preferred. Is anyone's institution using DTG or other INSTIs in place of RAL specifically for occupational PEP? If so, do you reference the nPEP guidelines or something else? How did the occupational health department respond?
It seems kind of strange that you could have a community acquired needle stick and get DTG but if its an occupational needle stick you get RAL.
Thanks!
