Any Chance? Help me.
I went to the barbershop a week ago.. I sat in the chair and the guy wipe down the clippers with a cloth. He proceeded to cut my hair, then pulled another set of clippers out and wipe then down with a cloth.. I dont know if the cloth was disinfected. He trims my mustache and then uses the clippers to get the hairs coming out of my nose.(it mighve touched the inside of my nose but i have a alot of hair in my nose.) he then uses some type of alcohol and wipes down my mustache and hair line.
After he finishes i notice that there was something red on the cloth he was using. Dont know if was blood or not? It was the same cloth he wiped the clippers down wit though. I got home and check every inch of my face and i wasnt cut at all. But he mightve touch the muscous membrane in my nose. I didnt have any traces of blood on my face but i still am nervous. WHat are my chances of HIV infection?
