Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in human blood that can cause diseases in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, viruses like hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Bloodborne pathogens are primarily transmitted through exposure to infected blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), such as certain body fluids. This exposure can occur through needlestick injuries, cuts, or abrasions, as well as through contact with mucous membranes. Understanding and controlling exposure to these pathogens is crucial in healthcare settings and other environments where contact with blood is common, to prevent the spread of these serious diseases. • #BloodbornePathogens #InfectiousDiseases #Pathogens #HealthcareSafety #BloodSafety #OccupationalSafety #DiseasePrevention #HIV #HepatitisB #hepatitisc
