➤ When should you seek medical evaluation or testing after an eye splash with blood?
Seek medical evaluation immediately after flushing the eyes. A clinician will perform risk assessment, baseline testing, and arrange follow-up tests. If exposure risks include HIV, post‑exposure prophylaxis should start as soon as possible and within 72 hours. Hepatitis B vaccination or immunoglobulin may be indicated depending on immunity status.
