Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effectiveness of the OraQuick Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test in occupational exposure scenarios, focusing on its impact on post-exposure treatment, cost savings, and its influence on healthcare worker stress.
- Results showed that the OraQuick test had a perfect agreement with traditional tests and significantly reduced the number of doses of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) needed, leading to an average savings of $6.62 per exposure.
- While the use of OraQuick did not significantly lower overall stress among healthcare workers, fewer workers in that group experienced repetitive thoughts about the exposure compared to those using the older test.
