Questions in Topic

A 33-year-old man who regularly injects drugs and recently tested negative for HIV presents for evaluation of a skin abscess. He injects heroin daily and typically uses his own clean needles. During the evaluation, he reveals that approximately 24 hours ago, he shared a needle with another person who is not well known to him. Prior to this recent event, the last time that he had shared needles or injecting equipment was about 4 months ago.

Should HIV nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) be started in this 33-year-old man?
