Abstract
Potential HIV exposure through injury with discarded syringes is a frequent event among children. Although no case of HIV infection has been reported so far in this context, an antiretroviral prophylaxis is generally proposed. Such treatment is extrapolated from consensus for management of exposed health care workers. Extremely low-risk and difficult administration of available drugs allows a case-by-case analysis and generally a less aggressive treatment.
