Yes, it primarily exists in the circulatory system and destroys T-cells.
This is why blood transfusions are checked for HIV/AIDS.
HIV is not an airborne pathogen. It is a bloodborne pathogen.
HIV can't be spread by breathing. It is a bloodborne, not airborne, pathogen.
No, sweat is not considered a bloodborne pathogen. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Sweat does not typically contain these pathogens and is generally not a medium for disease transmission. However, if sweat comes into contact with open wounds or mucous membranes, there could be a risk of infection, but this is not the same as being a bloodborne pathogen.
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.
A bloodborne pathogen is a microorganism, such as a virus or bacterium, that can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids. Examples include HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.

Yes, starting in July, 2010 Tattoo Parlors and Permanent Make-up salons will need to take a HIV/Bloodborne Pathogen Training.
The most lethal bloodborne pathogen is generally considered to be the Ebola virus. It causes Ebola virus disease, which has a high fatality rate, often exceeding 50% in outbreaks. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, and there is currently no widely available cure or vaccine for all strains. Other notable bloodborne pathogens include HIV and hepatitis B and C viruses, but they typically have lower immediate mortality rates compared to Ebola.
