What is one way that blood–borne pathogens can be transmitted?

Blood-borne pathogens can spread when infected blood enters another person’s body. A needlestick injury can puncture the skin and expose someone to infected blood, so the correct choice is needlestick injuries. Coughing and sneezing generally spread pathogens through respiratory droplets, while using the wrong medication is not a route of blood-borne transmission.
