BBP Vs. OPIM

✅ Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP's) Definition: Microorganisms present in human blood that can cause disease in humans. Examples:

  • Hepatitis B (HBV)
  • Hepatitis C (HCV)
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Transmission: Spread through contact with infected blood via cuts, needlesticks, or mucous membranes. ✅ Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM's) Definition: Bodily fluids and materials that may contain BBP's and pose a similar risk of infection. Examples:
  • Cerebrospinal, synovial, pleural, pericardial, peritoneal, and amniotic fluids
  • Any body fluid visibly contaminated with blood
  • Unfixed human tissue or organs
🔍 Key Differences
  • BBPs are the actual pathogens.
  • OPIMs are the substances that may carry those pathogens.
