Haircut at the barber
Hi
Today i went to the barber's for a haircut. When i got home i noticed the blade that he had use to remove some of my facial hair has caused a cut on my left ear. It stings a little and had little blood. The same blade was used on the previous customer and he did not clean it before using it on me. Before it was used on me it was probably exposed in the air for 10 mins as during that time he was cutting my hair, but i don't know if the blade was completely exposed in the air as he had slide the blade back into its lid. Is there any chance of contracting Hiv in this manner if there were blood on it from the previous customers and got onto my cut? And do you feel he poses any risks to the customers as he does not sterilise the blade before using it on the next customer.
Thx

Im sure u would be asking a lot of questions too if you didn't know much about it, hence why this forum existed.
go to a park, watch a movie, walk ur dog, plant a garden, pick some strawberries, wash ur car, polish ur shoes, go to a shopping mall, talk to others, join a social activity, read a book, stay in a library, rear a cat, play some sports, fly a kite, play a new game, go for a jog, exercise in the gym, find a hobby, and enjoy ur work
this guy will keep asking and telling he is HIV ... I can imagine how many tests he will do and that he will keep posting : Hey i got negative 3 months HIV test do I still have HIV ??
Hi Teak
Thx for you quick response. So no one has ever caught hiv through this manner? It freaks me out because im a frequent customer and most time he causes small cut on me when using the blade to remove facial hair. So its likely that happens to other customers because it also happens to my mate.
