Which of the most following statements is not true of bloodborne pathogens?

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms present in human blood that can cause disease. They include viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C. One common misconception is that bloodborne pathogens can only be transmitted through direct blood-to-blood contact; however, they can also be transmitted through other bodily fluids and contaminated surfaces. Therefore, any statement implying that bloodborne pathogens are exclusively transmitted through blood would be untrue.
