No, measles is not considered a bloodborne pathogen. It is a highly contagious viral infection that spreads primarily through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be transmitted by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the face. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles.
