If You Are Exposed

Captions available

The idea

If a needle sticks you, or blood splashes into your eyes, nose, mouth or broken skin, act at once.

In practice

Flood the area with water, clean any wound with soap and water, and report the incident immediately so follow-up care can begin.

Where people slip

Do not wait until the end of the day; unit ten covers the full post-exposure steps.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
