Human Immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, is a lentivirus that causes progressive failure of the immune system and creates the opportunity for life-threatening infections and cancers to live and thrive in the body.

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.
HIV is not an airborne pathogen. It is 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.
True
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.
HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C
No, pulling out will not avoid HIV infection.
Yes, all three are bloodborne pathogens. See link below for more details.
