Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are three of the most common bloodborne pathogens from which health care workers are at risk. However, bloodborne pathogens are implicated in the transmissions of more than 20 other pathogens (Beltrami et al 2000 ).

Hepatitis B. The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be transmitted to others through blood and body fluid contact. HBV is spread when blood or body fluids from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not infected, through breaks in the skin or through the moist linings of the eyes, nose, mouth, and genitalia.
