Types of
Bloodborne Diseases
Questions? Contact Rachel Koehler with IEA at 763-315-7900 or [email protected]
Human Immunodeficiency Virus
• Virus that causes AIDS.
• HIV affects the immune system, slowing
destroying white blood cells.
• Virus is killed easily outside of body (once blood
is dry, HIV considered no longer communicable)
• There is no vaccine to prevent HIV

Questions? Contact Rachel Koehler with IEA at 763-315-7900 or [email protected]
Universal Precautions

• Dispose of sharps in a puncture resistant container
• Dispose of soiled items in leak –proof bags/containers
• Wash Hands for 20 seconds with friction/soap/water

length of life dramatically.
• Hepatitis B Virus
– The HBV vaccination is administered in a series of 3
injections
• Given at 0, 1, and 4-6 month intervals
• Effective in 95% of people who complete series of all three
shots
• Series may continue if exceeded interval (i.e. do not have
to start over even if 1st shot was 2 years ago)
• Hepatitis C Virus

cases.

POST EXPOSURE PROCEDURES
Questions? Contact Rachel Koehler with IEA at 763-315-7900 or [email protected]
What qualifies as a blood exposure?
• “Exposure Incident” means a specific eye, mouth, other
mucous membrane, non-intact* skin, or parenteral**
contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials
that results from the performance of an employee’s duties.
• *Non-intact skin includes skin with dermatitis, hang-nails,
cuts, abrasions, chafing, acne, etc.
• **Parenteral means piercing mucous membranes or the skin
barrier though such events as needle sticks, human bites,
cuts, and abrasions.
• When an employee experiences an “exposure incident”, the
employer must institute the required follow-up procedures
in their plan.
