Simple precautions

Are there any precautions I can take?

Yes. If you make sure anything that has cut you or pierced your skin is not used by other people, and you clear up any bleeding you have properly, you'll prevent passing on your infection.

Store all your own items that can cut or graze the skin in a separate container. Label the box and the items, and let others know not to borrow them as a simple precaution for family and friends.

Clean up all blood spills and cover any cuts or grazes properly.
