True. In healthcare settings, it's a standard practice to treat all bodily fluids as potentially infectious, regardless of a patient's known disease or diagnosis. This approach is part of "Standard Precautions" intended to prevent transmission of infections, protecting both healthcare providers and patients. It includes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper hygiene practices.
