Such practices are vital for protecting both patients and healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the leading causes of healthcare-related transmission in the past was the reuse of needles and syringes. Modern guidelines require the use of single-use disposable equipment to eliminate this risk.

If a healthcare worker is potentially exposed to HIV, starting PEP within 72 hours can prevent infection. This emergency measure must be followed strictly according to protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular training and refresher courses for healthcare staff ensure they remain up-to-date with the latest guidelines.
