Teaching healthcare workers about emergency virus protection: will it stick?
NCT ID NCT07330427
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study at Aswan University Hospital in Egypt will give 340 healthcare workers special training on post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) — the steps to take right after accidental contact with blood or body fluids that might carry HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Researchers will measure the workers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices before and after the training to see if education makes a difference. The goal is to improve how well healthcare workers protect themselves after an on-the-job exposure.

Active substance
Health education sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple education programs help healthcare workers better protect themselves after accidental exposure to blood-borne viruses.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-hospital study measuring knowledge changes, not actual infection rates. Results may not apply to other settings, and improved knowledge doesn't always change real-world behavior.
