Answer:

Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans.Transmission occurs when an infected person touches or exchanges body fluids with someone else.

Step-by-step explanation:

These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This can happen before an infected person is aware of the illness.
