A Woman and Her 6-Year-Old Son Present to Your Urgent

A woman and her 6-year-old son present to your urgent care clinic after the boy sustains a bite on his forearm from another child on the school playground. The boy's skin was broken and he reports that the wound bled slightly after the bite. The boy denies any trauma to the biter's mouth prior to the bite and says the biter's saliva and teeth were not bloody. To address the mother's concern about HIV transmission you:

A) Offer three-drug postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) for this exposure and reassure the patient and his mother that PEP is effective in preventing HIV transmission
B) Offer two-drug PEP for this exposure and reassure the patient and his mother that this is a low-risk exposure
C) Reassure the patient and his mother that this is a low-risk exposure but inform them that PEP is not recommended for persons under the age of 18
D) Reassure the patient and his mother that this was not a potential exposure to HIV and therefore PEP is not indicated
