HIV: Pre & Post Exposure Guidelines HIV basics The basics of HIV prevention Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Key Points Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is when people who do not have HIV but are at risk of getting HIV take HIV medicine every day to prevent HIV infection. PrEP is used by people without HIV who are at risk of being exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use. Two HIV medicines are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as PrEP: Truvada and Descovy . PrEP is most effective when taken consistently each day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that studies on PrEP effectiveness have shown that consistent use of PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% and from injection drug use by at least 74%. What is PrEP? PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis . The word “prophylaxis” means to prevent or control the spread of an infection or disease. PrEP is when people...

Platelet count
TOTAL PLATELET COUNT USING HEMOCYTOMETER / NEUBAUER’s CHAMBER (MICRO DILUTION & MACRO DILUTION METHOD) A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO PLATELETS / THROMBOCYTES The Platelets, also known as Thrombocytes, are the Oval, Round or rod-like cells present in the blood that helps mainly in the clotting of blood. On an average, the size of the Platelets is 2 – 4 µm (microns). The mature Thrombocytes are non-nucleated cells with a minute granules present in the cytoplasm and there is no pigment present in Platelets. The Average lifespan of Platelets is 3-10 days. Normally about 150,000 – 450,000 cells are present per cubic millimeter (mm 3 ) of blood . Platelet counts can be done manually or using automated cell counters. Since many laboratories use instruments that count platelets, red cells and leukocytes concurrently, a platelet count is a routinely reported result on many samples of dog and horse blood. However, platelet clumping will lower (and in some instances invalidate) the platelet co...
