Question

question 3 of 10
which of the following is the most important in determining whether a bloodborne pathogen would transfer from one person to another?
choose an option below
temperature of the infected persons blood
whether the pathogen is hbv, hcv, or hiv
the blood type of the non-infected person
whether the infected persons blood came in contact with the non-infected persons blood

Explanation:

Bloodborne pathogens require direct contact between infected and non-infected blood (or mucous membranes/non-intact skin) for transmission. The other factors (blood temperature, specific pathogen type in this context, non-infected person's blood type) are not the primary determinant of transmission possibility.

Answer:

Whether the infected person's blood came in contact with the non-infected person's blood
