How are bloodborne pathogens primarily transmitted?

  1. Through contaminated water

  2. By air

  3. In blood or body fluids

  4. Via direct skin contact

The correct answer is: In blood or body fluids

Bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV and Hepatitis B, are primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected blood or body fluids. This includes sharing needles, blood transfusions, and contact with contaminated medical instruments. While contaminated water and air can transmit other types of pathogens, they are not the primary mode of transmission for bloodborne pathogens. And while certain diseases can be transmitted through direct skin contact, this is not the primary mode of transmission for bloodborne pathogens. Knowing how these pathogens are transmitted is important in preventing their spread and protecting one's own health.
