Answer:

Three bloodborne pathogens to which workers in the US are most likely to be exposed are:

  • A. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus, and Hepatitis C virus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Texas State Workers' Compensation Division produced a question-and-answer manual on occupational exposures that primarily characterizes three diseases: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), HBV (Hepatitis B Virus), and HCV ( Hepatitis C virus), classifying the latter as the riskiest of contagion since its percutaneous exposure (through the skin) is sufficient to be infected.
