Hi all,
In our organisation the responsibility for management of Occupational Exposures resides with Workplace Health & Wellbeing. There are some changes occurring in Tasmania relating to the legislative framework around HIV testing, including rescinding of the Tasmanian HIV/AIDS Preventative Measures Act. This has provided our organisation with an opportunity to consider the approach taken in other jurisdictions and organisations.
The following question is posted on behalf of the Medical Director Workplace Health & Wellbeing in Tasmania
The question I would like answered is below:
I am interested to know what training your Occupational Exposure Coordinators have in pre and post-test counselling following an occupational exposure and who provides the training?
Thanking you in advance for your replies.
Kind regards

Hi Rachel
I did do a workshop in conjunction with the University of Queensland in regard to HIV test counselling (http://www.som.uq.edu.au/about/academic-disciplines/general-practice/hiv-hcv-education-projects/our-courses.aspx), but in practice most of our staff who require pre-test counselling post-exposure are seen by our ICU medical staff, and I provide post-test counselling. Source patients for exposures are mostly provided pre-test counselling (probably a very loose use of the term counselling here!) by senior ward staff or hospital co-ordinators, who have no formal HIV pre-test counselling training, but follow a scripted sheet, and can call upon ICU medical officers for any assistance in this.
It is my understanding this is a common scenario in the larger Queensland private hospitals.
Cheers
