I working as a cook. cuts often happens when people are using a knife. any possibility to get std or other ?

Confusing question: You get STD's from sexual activity with an infected carrier.Exposure of any open wound to sexual fluids can allow those fluids to pass a germ more easily if it is already present.If that knife were contaminated by the blood of someone with Hepatitis B, that germ is quite hardy and can be passed on such objects, as well as during sex, but most do not consider it a STD.
