What Does BBP Stand For?
BBP stands for Blood Borne Pathogen
BBP, or Blood Borne Pathogen, refers to microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, as well as certain bacteria. Exposure to BBPs can occur through needlesticks, cuts, or contact with mucous membranes, making it critical for healthcare and emergency personnel to follow strict safety protocols to minimize risk. Effective training and proper handling of potentially infectious materials are essential in preventing the transmission of these pathogens.
