Title : Stay safe everyone!


At the end of the day, how do we exactly prevent ourselves from getting bloodborne diseases? From what we have learnt and discussed in the previous posts, whether we are talking about HBV, HCV or HIV, it is obvious that the basic prevention is to always protect yourself and be careful! As long as you are vaccinated (protecting yourself in a way), you are safe of HBV! As for HCV and HIV, it is all about precaution!



Transmission of bloodborne pathogens in the work setting is a risk wherever workers may have contact with blood or body fluids as a result of their duties. The science is clear. There have been cases of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV resulting from occupational exposures. All the requirements of the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard must be followed in any workplace where workers may be exposed to bloodborne pathogens as part of their duties.

Always remember to stay safe! :)
