“Bloodborne Pathogens” are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans.
These pathogens include, but are not limited to, Hepatitis B (HBV) Hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The main purpose of the class for Infection Control is to learn how to avoid exposure to pathogens that can kill us.
Bloodborne Pathogens and HIV/AIDS will be considered.
Since we cannot know who is infected, we must assume that everyone is infected and that all blood and body fluids pose the risk of infection for bloodborne diseases.
