Blood and body fluid exposures among US medical students in Botswana.

Introduction: Medical students from resource-rich countries who rotate in resource-limited settings have little pre-departure experience performing procedures, and lack familiarity with local equipment. The risk of blood and body fluid exposures during such rotations is significant.

Aim: 1) Determine whether a simulation-based intervention reduced exposures among US medical students on a rotation in Botswana; 2) determine whether exposures were underreported; 3) describe exposures and provision of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
