HIV and HBV Research Laboratories and Production Facilities

HIV and HBV research laboratories and production facilities present increased risk for occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

HIV or HBV Research Laboratories:

All laboratories engaged in the culture, production, concentration, experimentation, and manipulation of HIV or HBV will reduce employee risk by providing additional administrative controls, protective equipment, information and training beyond that required for research laboratories not involved in such work.

Refer to Appendix G (HIV and HBV Research Laboratories) for these additional requirements.

HIV or HBV Production Facilities:

MSU does not have HIV or HBV production facilities. The ECP will be modified to meet additional requirements if the research status changes on this campus.

Note: Refer to Appendix D for further information regarding the use of human cell cultures.

Note: Contact the ORCBS at 355-0153 for any questions regarding the status of HIV and HBV research facilities and laboratories at MSU.
