The symptoms of infections caused by bloodborne pathogens can vary depending on the specific pathogen. For example:
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C may cause symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, and liver damage. HIV can lead to AIDS, characterized by a weakened immune system and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and certain cancers.
In some cases, individuals may be asymptomatic but still capable of transmitting the pathogen to others.
