Hepatitis B is the bloodborne pathogen with a vaccine available.
Universal precautions is the best and most effective strategy for reducing occupational bloodborne pathogen infections.
HIV is not an airborne pathogen. It is a bloodborne pathogen.
is NOT a likely route of entry for a bloodborne 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.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Colds, influenza and measles are all three caused by different kinds of viruses.
Yes, it is called the Bloodborne Pathogen standard.
HIV can't be spread by breathing. It is a bloodborne, not airborne, pathogen.
An ariborne pathogen that targets the respiratory tracts is the rubella virus. Rubella virus is also known as the German Measles. Treatment for the rubella virus is a vaccine.German measles or Rubela is caused by a special type of microbe called as 'Virus'.
