1. Wear protective equipment, use pocket masks during CPR, do not recap needles. 2. Wash exposed skin with soap and water, use water or eye wash for eyes. 3. Blood contact on intact skin requires no further treatment. 4. All other exposures may require treatment for HIV- test source passenger when possible. 5. Become vaccinated to HBV, and measure antibody response to the vaccination. 6. Post-exposure treatment for HBV is safe and effective- but should be unnecessary. 7. There is no post-exposure treatment for HCV. 8. Post-exposure treatment for HIV is individualized based upon the type of exposure and HIV status of source blood.

Consider providing immediate access to expert advice in the event a possible exposure to BBP occurs.
