Programme Introduction
About this programme
🏥 Healthcare Operations
✅ Compliance-Focused
📋 Practical Application
Occupational exposure to HIV and hepatitis carries genuine risk of infection transmission, and the window for effective post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is time-sensitive, making prompt, correct decision-making essential.
Managing these exposures well requires structured risk assessment of the source and exposure type, knowledge of appropriate PEP regimens, and a clear follow-up testing plan to confirm the outcome.
TerraLeap’s HIV & Hepatitis PEP course is designed for occupational health and infection prevention teams, covering risk assessment, regimen selection, and structured follow-up.
The course covers structured exposure risk assessment, principles guiding PEP regimen selection, timing considerations for starting prophylaxis, and follow-up testing protocols.
Practical, compliance-ready knowledge — built for real healthcare operations.
