How can I prevent HIV if I think I’ve been exposed to the virus?

If you think you have been exposed to HIV:
  • wash the area with soap and water
  • encourage bleeding by pressing around the injury
  • report the incident straight away
  • find out the patient’s HIV status – ask a doctor to do this and make sure the patient has given consent to an HIV test.7
