Can urine carry bloodborne pathogens and how would you clean it up?
IN A NORMAL SITUATION, when (healthy) urine comes out of your body, it is sterile. Urine, for the purpose of spreading B B Pathogens, is not considered a "bodily fluid" like blood, semen and vaginal secretions. HOWEVER, in cases of illness or disease where there is blood in the urine, I imagine it could spread a B B Pathogen. For personal cleansing I would use a good antibacterial scrub, such as surgical scrub PREPODYNE. For surface cleansing, I would use bleach.
Is blood the only body fluid that carry pathogens?
No, blood is not the only body fluid that can carry pathogens. Other body fluids such as saliva, urine, breast milk, and semen can also carry pathogens depending on the particular infection or disease present in the body.

Can viruses be inactive for years?
yesAfter a child gets chickenpox and overcomes it, the chickenpox virus can remain inactive in him for over 50 years then become active again in the form of a painful rash known as shingles.Some people can get infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or the Hepatitis C virus and not show symptoms for years. Those people can infect others who come into contact with their blood or other bodily fluids (saliva is OK) without even knowing that they carry a deadly virus. That's why you should never let someone else's blood touch you unless you're certain that they have recently tested negative for harmful bloodborne pathogens.
