	1 - Status quo - No amendment would be made to policy. As a result, the WCB would only provide compensation for preventive measures following exposures to infectious diseases that occur as a compensable consequence of an objectively verifiable physical trauma, such as a needle-stick injury, unless the exposure has caused the onset of an occupational disease.
	2 - Amend policy to recognize an exposure to an infectious disease as compensable, in certain circumstances - Policy would provide that an exposure may be compensable in the absence of an objectively identifiable physical trauma, before conclusive evidence of the worker's infectious status is available, where there is: objective evidence of exposure, a moderate to high risk that the worker will develop a disease with potentially life-threatening health consequences, and an urgent need for post-exposure prophylaxis.
	3 - Amend policy to recognize specific infectious disease exposures as compensable, in certain circumstances - For example, one policy could specifically set out the circumstances in which workers would be entitled to compensation as a result of HIV/AIDS exposures, and a second policy could specifically deal with hepatitis B exposures.
