and as i was shaving, i cut my self just a little, nothing major, but the blood came out hardly, is there any worry about like a disease or infection, by the way im really paranoid. also i wanted to know as a general fact how can std's be passed and how long they can live on surfaces open to air...?

If it's just a small cut, you'l be fine. Just use some antibiotic till it heals. Your underwear and clothes will protect you from infection. You would have to come in contact with another person's skin or body fluids to contract an std. As long as you have no sexual contact between now and the time it heals, you'll be fine. In the meantime, keep the wound covered with a bandage and no matter what touches you there, you'll be fine.

That's happened to me before, too. The cut shouldn't be a problem, it's no different than getting a cut on your leg while shaving or if you're a guy, a cut on your face while shaving.
Just avoid "contact" if you know what I mean, until it's healed so you don't get an infection.

OUCH !
Stay away from sexual contact if you are sexually active. apply an antibiotic ointment once. Let the air (use loose 100% cotton panties for a couple of days) if the cut does not continue to get red er of have a discharge you will more than likely be just fine.

i would probably put some triple antibiotic ointment on the cut so you don't get an infection,other than that just make sure you use a new razor every time you shave. what i mean is don't share razors with anyone.

There's no way you can catch anything if it was your razor and you were by yourself. Believe me i know what it's like to be paranoid. If you are worried, speak with your doctor about things and how long they can live. If you just nicked yourself, there's no reason to worry.
