Abstract
A covering such as a glove, condom or sheath for inhibiting the spread of contagious diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis to a person contacting the body fluid of a person infected with the disease. The covering is flexible, stretchable, and relatively thin, and includes at least one relatively thin layer of material containing a sterilizing fluid capable of sterilizing the microbes that produce the disease. If an object cuts through the covering and into a person's skin, the sterilizing fluid will be released to help sterilize the infectious microbes in the region around the cut so that the microbes are rendered ineffective either before reaching the person's skin, after reaching the person's skin, or both. Various methods of making and using the covering are also disclosed.
