Giải thích
The first step is immediate washing of the wound with soap and running water, followed by prompt reporting so that a confidential medical evaluation, source testing, and any indicated post-exposure prophylaxis can begin without delay. Squeezing the wound is not recommended and can damage tissue. Delaying the report can push treatment outside the window in which prophylaxis is most effective, and surface disinfectants must never be applied to skin or wounds.
