HBV and HIV A blood-borne disease (sometimes referred to as a blood-borne virus or BBV ) is one that can be spread through contamination by blood and oher body fluids. The most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viral hemorrhagic fevers.
Next Video. Bloodborne Pathogens are microorganisms (such as viruses) that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The primary source of potential bloodborne pathogens is blood and specific bodily fluids. Examples of diseases caused by bloodborne pathogens include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Q. How does someone contract a bloodborne pathogen? A. Bloodborne pathogens are spread through blood and other body fluids (most often semen or vaginal secretions). A. A bloodborne pathogen is a type of bacteria or virus that is spread by contact with an infected individual’s blood or other potentially infectious body fluids. •Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in blood and can cause disease in people. Types of Bloodborne Pathogens •Bloodborne pathogens include: –Hepatitis B (HBV) –Hepatitis C –Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) –Other diseases. Hepatitis B (HBV) •Is the most common bloodborne pathogen •Is a virus that causes infection and inflammation of the liver •Is transmitted primarily through “blood to blood” contact •Can lead to serious conditions such as cirrhosis and liver cancer •Can survive in dried blood for up to seven days. However, any bloodborne pathogen has the potential to be transmitted by blood transfusion. Transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) are infections resulting from the introduction of a pathogen into a person through blood transfusion. A wide variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, prions, and parasites can be transmitted through blood transfusions. The use of a standard donor screening questionnaire as well as laboratory tests help to reduce the risk of an infectious organism being For a bloodborne pathogen to be spread, the bodily fluids of an infected person must enter into the bloodstream of another person. The most common cause of transmission in the workplace is when an infected person’s blood enters another person’s bloodstream through an open w ound. Although there is no cure, vaccination directly after contact (well before symptoms appear) can prevent infection. human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV): A bloodborne pathogen that attacks the immune system. Symptoms of HIV can include weakness, fever, sore throat, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and some forms of cancer. Bloodborne Pathogens Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are transmitted through the bloodstream. The viruses that cause Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) are two examples of bloodborne pathogens. Although there is no cure, vaccination directly after contact (well before symptoms appear) can prevent infection. human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV): A bloodborne pathogen that attacks the immune system. Symptoms of HIV can include weakness, fever, sore throat, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and some forms of cancer. bloodborne pathogens: Microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, HBV and HIV. engineering controls: Controls that isolate or remove bloodborne pathogens from the workplace. Although there is no cure, vaccination directly after contact (well before symptoms appear) can prevent infection. human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV): A bloodborne pathogen that attacks the immune system. Symptoms of HIV can include weakness, fever, sore throat, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and some forms of cancer. Modes of Transmission. Bloodborne pathogens such as HBV and HIV can be transmitted through contact with infected human blood and other potentially infectious body fluids such as: 1  Semen. 2  Vaginal secretions. 3  Cerebrospinal fluid. 4  Synovial fluid. 5  Pleural fluid. 6  Peritoneal fluid. 7  Amniotic fluid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A blood-borne disease (sometimes referred to as a blood-borne virus or BBV) is one that can be spread through contamination by blood and other body fluids. The most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. Diseases that are not usually transmitted directly by blood contact, but rather by insect or other vector, are more usefully classified as vector-borne disease, even though the causative agent can be found in blood. Vector-borne diseases include West Nile virus and malaria.  Modes of Transmission. Bloodborne pathogens such as HBV and HIV can be transmitted through contact with infected human blood and other potentially infectious body fluids such as: 1  Semen (the viscid, whitish fluid from the male). 2  Vaginal secretions (fluid from the female cervix)
