Which of the following diseases can be transmitted from one persons to...
Currently there are some 200+ communicable diseases that can be transmitted through tattooing. Hepatitis B:- Hepatitis B and C can lead to serious, permanent liver damage and are known to be transmittable through tattooing. Hepatitis can survive outside its host for up to two weeks and can resists most normal forms of disinfection. Also, studies show that the ratio of hepatitis transmission through accidental needle stick is much greater than that of HIV. About one in five as opposed to one in 200 for HIV.
HIV/AIDS:- The term needle in tattooing is a misnomer since tattoos are not applied by needles but rather with pins. A needle is typically a hollow core implement that is used primarily for intravenous injections such as a syringe or IV needle. Tattoo 'needles' are solid core and push the ink into the skin rather than inject it. This requires that the ink, and any contaminated blood mixed with it, must adhere to the outside surface of the pins causing the virus to come into contact with the open air

Transmission of Diseases through Tattooing
Tattooing involves puncturing the skin with a needle and injecting ink into the skin. This process can lead to the transmission of various diseases that can be present in the blood, saliva, or other bodily fluids of the person doing the tattooing, or the person getting the tattoo.
Diseases that can be transmitted through tattooing include:
1. Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver, and it can be transmitted through exposure to infected blood or bodily fluids. Hepatitis B can be transmitted through tattooing if the tattoo equipment is contaminated with infected blood.
2. HIV-AIDS: HIV-AIDS is a viral infection that attacks the immune system. It can be transmitted through exposure to infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk. HIV-AIDS can be transmitted through tattooing if the tattoo equipment is contaminated with infected blood.
3. Chikungunya: Chikungunya is a viral infection that is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. It is not typically transmitted through tattooing, as it requires the bite of an infected mosquito to spread.
Correct Answer: B) 2 and 3 only
Therefore, the correct answer to the given question is option B, as Chikungunya cannot be transmitted through tattooing, while Hepatitis B and HIV-AIDS can be transmitted through tattooing.
