Hiv and hbv are the only bloodbourne threats you face
A bloodborne pathogen is a disease causing agent in the blood such as a virus (HIV, HBV, or Herpes) or bacteria (TB, Gonorrhea). Corrected: Bloodborne Pathogens means, disease causing organisms transmitted by blood and other body fluids. Most common bloodborne pathogens are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C & HIV.
Substances present in the blood that can cause infection or disease. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses are bloodborne pathogens since they are spread through blood and can cause a liver infection.
The three most common bloodborne pathogens are the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). The greatest risks associated with these pathogens include transmission through contact with infected blood, needlestick injuries, and exposure during medical procedures. HIV can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), while HBV and HCV can cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Preventive measures such as vaccinations (for HBV), safe handling practices, and the use of personal protective equipment are crucial to mitigate these risks.
It's HBV.
HBV means hepatis B.Hepatitis B Virus
You can work in the medical field with no immunity to HBV.
The target organ of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the liver.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses the greatest occupational risk among healthcare workers as it is highly infectious and can survive outside the body for up to seven days. It can lead to chronic infection, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer if not treated promptly.
