HIV/AIDS Infection

Dear doctor, I am a Chinese, I am sorry my English is very poor, I hope you can help me.
I go to the barber shop, barber electric clippers to touch my acne bleeding. If the person in front of me to have AIDS and the barber electric clippers to touch his pimples are bleeding. Between our two barber electric hair clippers without disinfection. Is this a risk of HIV infection? China's CDC propaganda document said that the barber shop can also infect this makes me scared.

HIV is inactivated in the air, and the only way you can get it from a cut is if you have deep gaping wounds and it is thrust in deep - obviously neither of these apply in a barber shop. Athletes collide at high speed and gash each other yet none get HIV so you won't either.
Go back to your happy life and forget what the propaganda guys are saying.

Thank you for your answer, you mean that the body surface bleeding small contact between the wound will not be infected with AIDS?
