Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HBV is bloodborne (found in blood), as well as in other body fluids, such as semen, sweat, and vaginal secretions. This means that HBV can be transmitted through transfusion of infected blood or blood products, across the placenta from the mother to the infant, and through unprotected sexual intercourse (both heterosexual and homosexual). HAV is transmitted via the oral-fecal route. Measles and tuberculosis are airborne diseases.
