Activities such as drinking, and eating in areas where there is blood and other body fluids should be avoided as there might be a likely exposure to a bloodborne pathogen.

Other activities that should be avoided include:

  • Person-person contact activities especially when there is potentially infectious skin with wounds in the form of abrasion or skin lesions.
  • Handling of unsterilized equipment which includes sharp objects.
  • Volunteering activities that involve assisting injured victims without personal protective equipment such as gloves should be avoided.

What are bloodborne pathogens?

They are disease-causing microorganisms that can be spread from one person to another through contaminated blood and other body fluids such as semen, and vaginal secretions but may not be found in fluids such as urine, or saliva unless they are contaminated with infected blood. Some known bloodborne pathogens include Hepatitis B Virus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

In summary, the activities mentioned above should be avoided as you can never tell if a surface is contaminated. Some bloodborne pathogens may survive for weeks in an environment outside the body and still remain infectious.
