1053 - What is a healthcare provider's risk of HIV infection after occupational exposure?
The risk of a healthcare provider getting HIV after coming into contact with HIV-infected blood, through a needlestick or cut, is very low (0.3 percent or about 3 chances out of 1,000). In fact, most injuries from needlesticks or cuts (99.7 percent) do not lead to infection. The risk of a healthcare provider getting HIV after his or her: * eye, * nose, or * mouth comes into contact with HIV-infected blood is also very low (0.1 percent). The risk is also very low for a healthcare provider whose non-intact skin, such as a cut or scrape, comes into contact with HIV-infected blood (less than 0.1 percent). If you are a healthcare provider managing occupational exposures to blood/body fluids and have questions about appropriate medical treatment after an exposure at work, you can call the National Clinicians' Post -Exposure Prophylaxis Hotline (PEPline) at 1-888-448-4911 for guidance. Call to Action
If you are a healthcare provider, and are concerned about contact you have had with blood or other body fluids, report it to your supervisor right away. It is important to report the exposure to the right people in your workplace right away, because you may need post-exposure treatment. If you do, it must be started as soon as possible.
PROBE:
Would you like to know what you should do if you are exposed to the blood of a patient? See prepared response ID 1052, What should I do if I am exposed to the blood of a patient?
PROBE:
Would you like to know how effective postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is in preventing percutaneous transmission in healthcare personnel? See prepared response ID 1408, Is postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) effective in preventing percutaneous transmission in healthcare personnel?

CDC-INFO & Emergency ResponseCDC-INFO & Emergency ResponseCDC-INFO Surge Response
• CDC-INFO serves as the contact center for HHS resources in the event of pandemic flu or other disease outbreaks
• CDC-INFO implemented a state-of-the-art system that provides critical surge capacity to respond to 98,000 to 273,000 calls per day – with an average call time of 3 minutes – based on the American Red Cross experience during Hurricane Katrina
• CDC-INFO increases response capacity for public and healthcare provider inquiries in emergency and natural disaster events, disease outbreaks and media events
• CDC-INFO extends state and local responder capacity during high volume and after hours inquiries
Agency Impact• The IVR (call menu system) allows for
pre-recorded or on-the-fly messages about events or campaigns
• OMB approved surveillance questions that CSRs will ask during events
• 17 questions for Health Professionals
• 12 questions for General Public
• Federal Coordinator brings together other Federal agencies to ensure resource sharing, standard protocol adherence, and inter-connectivity before, during and after an event.

• MMWR Dispatch• Vol. 58 / April 21, 2009
• Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Infection in Two Children — Southern California, March–April 2009
• On April 17, 2009, CDC determined that two cases of febrile respiratory illness occurring in children who resided in adjacent counties in southern California were caused by infection with a swine influenza A (H1N1) virus. The viruses from the two cases are closely related genetically, resistant to amantadine and rimantadine, and contain a unique combination of gene segments that previously has not been reported among swine or human influenza viruses in the United States or elsewhere. Neither child had contact with pigs; the source of the infection is unknown. Investigations to identify the source of infection and to determine whether additional persons have been ill from infection with similar swine influenza viruses are ongoing.

• "There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza. Take these everyday steps to protect your health: Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze; Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it; Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze; Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective; Try to avoid close contact with sick people; If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth- Germs spread this way."
