SUPREME COURT DIRECTIVE TO ENSURE PEP DRUGS IN ALL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS IN INDIA
1. 2. Universal Work Precautions (UWP) and PEP guidelines should be followed by HCPs to prevent occupational transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B and hepatitis C. This will develop confidence in HCPs while working with patients some of whom might be infected with HIV/HBV/HCV.
3. PEP drugs should be available in all Govt Hospitals to enable protection of HCPs dealing with potentially infected patients to make sure that no patients suffering from HIV be denied treatment/surgery/ procedures etc
4. 5. Availability of UWP and PEP can minimize the stigma and discrimination against PLHIVs in Health Care facilities. Above regulations to be practiced in Private hospitals and Establishments
