Bloodborne diseases are a serious concern in the United States. ''Hepatitis B'' infects over 70,000 people annually, and has over one million ''carriers'' in the U.S. The HIV virus, which usually leads to AIDS, currently infects over one million people. Because of the increasing problems with these diseases, in 1991 OSHA passed a ''Bloodborne Pathogens'' regulation.

Bloodborne Pathogens Video and DVD Excerpt: Exposure to bloodborne diseases is a serious concern in the healthcare industry. Because of this in 1991 OSHA created a new regulation dealing bloodborne pathogens, the disease causing micro organisms found in human blood as well as human blood components and products. While there are a number of bloodborne pathogens those causing hepatitis b, hepatitis c and the human immunodeficiency virus pose the greatest threat. HIV is one of the newest blood pathogens, and is spreading rapidly. It is believed that over one million people in the U.S have already been infected. Currently no vaccine exists to prevent infection of HIV and there is no known cure. Symptoms experienced at the onset of an HIV infection can vary, they include; weakness,fever, sore throat, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and other flu-like symptoms. However many with the HIV virus show know apparent symptoms for years after their initial infection. Controlling the spread of HIV is very important. It is generally believed that those who contract HIV will ultimately develop acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Aids results in a breakdown of the immune system, canceling out the body's ability to fight off other diseases.
