 *Varicella vaccine can still be administered to close contacts of immunocompromised people, but they should be monitored for a rash.
 *Acute HIV infection has fever, fatigue, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rash. '''Exudative pharyngitis and hepatosplenomegaly are not a common features'''.
 *EBV infectious mononucleosis (IM) is diagnosed with the '''monospot (heterophiles antibody)''' test. Treatment is '''supportive, and avoid contact sports for 4-6 weeks'''.
-*Management of a needlestick that is high-risk for HIV includes '''PEP for 4 weeks; HIV testing immediately, at 4 weeks, and 6 months; testing of the source patient (often legally mandatory).'''

 *Oral pharyngeal thrush is an AIDS defining illness in the absence of inhaled steroids or chemo.
-*Bacterial conjunctivitis has thick, unilateral discharge that crusts over. Viral and allergic are more watery and more likely to be bilateral. Allergic is itchy. Certain patients with bacterial conjunctivitis ('''e.g. contact lens wearers''') should be treated with fluoroquinolone for Pseudomonas coverage. These patients also have an increased risk of '''bacterial keratitis'''
