Hi. (1) I\'d like to know if there are any documented cases whereby there was HIV infected blood on a glass and someone got accidentally cut by the glass and got infected with HIV? What other diseases can be possibly spread by this? (2) What about knives? If someone gets cut by a knife with HIV blood on it will the person get HIV? Are there any documented cases of this happening? What other diseases can be possibly spread by this? (3) If lets say someone on the street accidentally fell down and is bleeding profusely, and i help the person and my hands are covered with his blood, will i get diseases from his blood (assuming that in case 1 i have an open wound on my hand, and case 2 i do not have open wound on my hand)? what are the chances of catching diseases from case 1 and 2? are there any documented cases of this incidents whereby the passerby got infected with diseases? Thank you very much for your reply.

HOW TO PUT ON A CONDOM

  1. Open the packet carefully so that you do not damage the condom. Do not test the condom by unrolling, inflating or stretching it; it has already been tested by the manufacturer.
  2. If the condom does not have a teat at the end, unroll 1 cm of it to leave a space at the end for collecting semen
  3. Pinch the teat or the 1cm length that you have left at the end of the condom to expel any air.
  4. Hold the condom over the tip of the penis and with the other hand unroll it down to the base of the penis.

To prevent contact of any body fluids between the partners, put on the condom as soon as the penis is erect or hard.

   
 

HOW TO TAKE OFF A CONDOM

  1. After ejaculation, hold the condom firmly around the penis whilst withdrawing, to prevent spillage of the semen.
  2. Slip the condom off the penis carefully. Wrap it up and throw it into the rubbish bin or chute.

To prevent spillage of semen, withdraw the penis before it gets soft.
