    HBV, HCV, and HIV are all bloodborne pathogens.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    HBV, HCV, and HIV are all bloodborne pathogens because they are viruses that can be transmitted through contact with infected blood. These pathogens can be spread through activities such as sharing needles, receiving blood transfusions, or having unprotected sex. It is important to take precautions to prevent the transmission of these viruses, such as practicing safe sex, using clean needles, and following proper infection control procedures in healthcare settings.
