Blood borne pathogens include Hepatitis B and C, malaria, syphilis and HIV. Such pathogens can be passed through open sores, needle sharing among people, and also through sexual contacts.
Technically yes, although in practice this is rarely or never done due to concerns over supply and blood-borne pathogens.
Blood borne pathogens are those which can be transmitted when blood infected with them is transver from one person to other like AIDS virus is blood borne and also other example is H. infuenzae which cause influneza and many more others
There are a few ways that blood borne pathogens can enter the human body. The routes of transmission include sexual activity, contact with blood and bodily fluids, and accidental sticks with a needle in a health care setting.
It presents a low risk; blood borne pathogens are spread through your blood. You could become infected only if the injured person has an open sore on their mouth or have blood on their face. When performing CPR the only thing you should worry about is influenza or other airborne pathogens. Using a pocket mouth-to-mouth resuscitation mask or other barrier device can prevent this.by:Lillian

OSHA requires employers to make hepatitis B immunizations available free to employees who have a potential for exposure to blood borne pathogens.
Hepatitis B Virus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus
No, but it is easy to cross contaminate and spread Hepititis among other blood borne pathogens.
