Evaluating North Carolina’s policy for healthcare personnel living with HIV and hepatitis B who perform invasive procedures after 25 years of implementation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 January 2020
Abstract
Healthcare personnel who perform invasive procedures and are living with HIV or hepatitis B have been required to self-notify the NC state health department since 1992. State coordinated review of HCP utilizes a panel of experts to evaluate transmission risk and recommend infection prevention measures. We describe how this practice balances HCP privacy and patient safety and health.
