Understanding BBP Hazards
BBP are microorganisms (viruses and bacteria)
that are present in blood and body fluids and can
cause diseases in humans.
The three most common BBP are:
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
• Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)
• Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)

How Infection Occurs
In order for pathogens to cause disease or
Infection the conditions are:
• Pathogen must be present
• There must be adequate quantity to overwhelm the immune response
• Suitable entry site into the body (skin cut, mucous membranes-mouth, nose, eyes.
• Susceptibility to the pathogen – weak immune system, pre-existing conditions
![Page 7: UCP Bloodborne Pathogens Recertification · Understanding BBP Hazards HIV Symptoms: • It could take many years before symptoms • Enlarged lymph nodes (swollen glands) • Lack](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042022/5e79ded572aa3f61bb724ab3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Understanding BBP Hazards
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV):
• Causes AIDS
• No vaccine for HIV/AIDS
• Attacks white blood cells (T) destroying them
• Destroys body’s ability to fight infection
• Susceptible to opportunistic diseases such as
certain forms of pneumonia, cancer & others
• Less contagious w/transmission of 1 in 300

Understanding BBP Hazards
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV):
• 45 to 180 days for Incubation (120 days avg.)
• It develops gradually
• It’s discovered after fully developed.
• Only 50% to 60% infected show symptoms
• The most common & contagious virus – 1 in 3
• It is an inflammation of the liver
![Page 10: UCP Bloodborne Pathogens Recertification · Understanding BBP Hazards HIV Symptoms: • It could take many years before symptoms • Enlarged lymph nodes (swollen glands) • Lack](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042022/5e79ded572aa3f61bb724ab3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Understanding BBP Hazards
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) cont:
• No specific treatment
• It can lead to liver failure, cirrhosis (scarring) or cancer of the liver
• 90% of healthy adults recover on their own and develop antibodies
• It does not die as it comes in contact with air.
• Infectious on surface w/blood for up to 7 days
![Page 11: UCP Bloodborne Pathogens Recertification · Understanding BBP Hazards HIV Symptoms: • It could take many years before symptoms • Enlarged lymph nodes (swollen glands) • Lack](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042022/5e79ded572aa3f61bb724ab3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• Vaginal secretions
• Fluid in brain & spinal cord
• Fluid in joints
• Fluid in lungs
• Fluid surrounding the heart
Through exchange of blood and other body fluids
• Abdominal fluid
• Saliva in dental procedures
• Amniotic fluid
• Body fluids visibly contaminated w/ blood

14
How BBPs are Spread
• Urine
• Saliva
• Tears
Body fluids not infectious unless with visible blood
• Feces
• Vomit
• Mucus
The two most common ways to be infected:
• Sexual transmission
• Illegal IV (Intravenous) drug use

15
How BBPs are Spread
Other ways to be infected:
• Needle stick, sharp object cut & non-intact skin exposure (abrasion, cut, pimple)
• Splash or splatter into mucus membrane – eyes mouth and nose.
• An infected mother to baby
• Through materials contaminated with blood
• There is a greater risk of infection from HBV
