Which virus is associated with occupational health risks?

  1. Hepatitis A virus

  2. Influenza virus

  3. Human immunodeficiency virus

  4. Helicobacter pylori

The correct answer is: Hepatitis A virus

This option is incorrect because hepatitis A is typically spread through contaminated food or water, not through occupational exposure. The influenza virus (Option B) is also not typically associated with occupational health risks, as it is spread through respiratory droplets and is not generally transmitted through occupational exposure. Option C (Human immunodeficiency virus) is a sexually transmitted infection and is not linked to occupational health risks in the same way that hepatitis A is. Option D (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria known to cause stomach ulcers, and while it can be contracted in workplace settings such as food services, it is not considered a major occupational health risk compared to hepatitis A.
