Primary care workplaces where occupational exposure to blood and body fluids may occur should have policies and procedures in place to manage such incidents. All healthcare workers should be immunised against hepatitis B and ideally should have documentation of their antibody response to vaccination. Knowledge of hepatitis B immune status helps streamline the response to any exposure. Most occupational exposures carry a low risk of transmission of bloodborne viruses, and management can often be undertaken in general practice. Urgent risk assessment and management is crucial. If postexposure prophylaxis for hepatitis B or HIV is required, the earlier it is given, the more likely it is to be effective. Two-drug HIV postexposure prophylaxis is now more accessible because generic formulations of the drug combination are available, and general practitioners can prescribe this on a private prescription.
