Abstract:
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection poses a significant global public health challenge, with approximately a quarter of the world's population showing serological evidence of past or present infection. Healthcare workers are particularly vulnerable to serious and potentially life-threatening HBV infections due to their work environment. Needle stick injuries are a major risk for occupational transmission of HBV and can occur during various procedures such as needle recapping, surgeries, blood collection, intravenous line administration, blood sugar monitoring, and improper disposal of sharps or

Abstract:
Needle stick injuries are major occupational hazards commonly associated with all cadres of healthcare workers. More than 20 different types of blood-borne pathogens are contracted through needle stick injuries. There are several therapies to prevent needle stick injuries, but the likelihood of contracting human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus will lead to psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as a reduction in quality of life among health care workers.

Occupational exposures to blood borne pathogens including HIV have been well studied. However, limited studies exist about the utilization of post exposure prophylaxis and follow-up in Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to describe the characteristics of occupational exposure to HIV, the utilization of post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) among health workers, and the proportion of exposed health workers reporting for follow-up three months after exposure.

Health care workers are at increased risk of needle stick injuries. Blood borne diseases that could be transmitted by such an injury include HIV, Hepatitis B, HCV and many others. Post exposure prophylaxis should be immediately started within 72 hours and should be continued for 28 days. Currently two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) are given along with one NNRTI (Non- Nucleoside reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor) including Efavirenz or Nevirapine. Multiple adverse effects have been reported with all the Anti- Retroviral Therapies including various cutaneous manifestations. A

ABSTRACT Background: For those who often use needles, such as nurses and laboratory professionals, needle stick injuries are a fact of life. Even if it’s not medical waste, it can still happen if you touch garbage. Approximately 385,000 healthcare professionals stab themselves unintentionally each year. The likelihood of virus transmission after a skin puncture injury depends on the person who used the object in the first place, the quantity of blood involved, the type of needle or syringe in question, the length of time since it was last used, and the type of injury.

Abstract:
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a treatment administered to an individual to prevent the development of infection or reduce the severity of illness after a potential or documented exposure to a microorganism. This may primarily be for the protection of the exposed individual concern, or in the case of a pregnant woman, for protecting the foetus in utero. PEP may also be useful in public health to reduce the risk of secondary spread of infection. A good history is required in order to make a proper assessment of the risk.

Abstract:
Blood- borne viruses (BBVs) are viral infections transmitted by blood or body fluid. In practice, any viral infection that achieves a high viral load in blood or body fluid can be transmitted through exposure to infected biological materials. In western countries, the most significant BBVs are human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV1 and HIV2), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Other viruses that can be transmitted by blood and body fluid include human T cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV1 and HTLV2), cytomegalovirus, West Nile virus and viruses responsible for viral haemorrhagic f
