Özet
Recent researches indicate that antiretroviral prophylaxis significantly reduces occupationally related HIV seroconversion. Treatment with antiretroviral agents after percutaneous exposure appears to reduce the odds of infection by almost 80 %. Zidovudine prophylaxis after exposure, effectively prevents virus propagation and allow local cutaneous host defenses to clear the infection. Current recommendations favor the use of zidovudine plus lamivudine for 4 weeks. Use of indinavir is advised when the exposure is especially hazardous.
