Bloodborne pathogens, or BBP's, are serious viral infections that can make you very ill. They can be passed on to you if you're exposed to someone's infected blood or other body fluids containing visible blood. There's no way of knowing if anyone at your school is infected. Your best defense is understanding bloodborne pathogens and following established safety procedures.
