Treatment of Possible Nonoccupational HIV Exposure
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is the use of antiretroviral medication to prevent HIV infection in an HIV-negative person who has had a specific high-risk exposure to HIV. Such exposure typically occurs through sex or sharing syringes (or other injection equipment) with someone who has or might have HIV. PEP initiation should be considered in people whose vagina, rectum, eye, mouth or other mucous membrane, nonintact skin, or perforated skin (e.g., needle stick) comes into contact with body fluids from a person with HIV, as long as exposure has occurred within a 72-hour window. See the Figures below for two options of a 28-day course of a three-drug antiretroviral regimen. IPH is located at 9053 Woodward Ave, Detroit, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Call 313-309-9350 ext. 2 for more information on HIV testing, PrEP, and PEP

Create a Safe Sleep Environment for Your Baby
There are about 3,400 sleep-related deaths among US babies each year. In 2020, there were about 1,389 deaths due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), about 1,062 deaths due to unknown causes, and about 905 deaths due to accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed. 1,597 babies died due to sleep-related causes in Michigan from 2010-2020. 75% of deaths occurred in an unsafe location, 69% of deaths had objects in the sleep environment, and 58% of deaths involved an infant sharing a sleep surface. See the Figure below. Between 2010 and 2017, there were 254 sleep-related infant deaths in the City of Detroit. Babies sleep safest when they sleep Alone, on their Backs in a bare Crib. Babies should not sleep with pillows, no blankets, and no toys. Babies should sleep in a smoke-free and nicotine-free environment. Create a safe sleep environment. Protect your baby from sleep-related infant deaths.
