Question 5 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which makes the following statement true? A person cannot get a blood-borne disease by

Answer
A
sharing food and drinks.
B
having unprotected sex.
C
getting a blood transfusion.
D
assisting someone who is injured without wearing gloves.

Explanation

Blood-borne diseases spread when infected blood or certain body fluids enter another person’s body. Sharing food and drinks does not ordinarily expose someone to infected blood, so it does not spread these diseases. Unprotected sex, a contaminated blood transfusion, or contact with an injured person’s blood without gloves can pose a risk.
