Should i be worried??

I had gone to the barber saloon yesterday for haircut and shave. I did not see the barber change the razor blade and started to shave me. He cut me on one of my pimples and it really bled till he put some antiseptic.

Am i at hiv risk, considering he had not changed the razor blade?? i came in 30 mins after he had worked on someone.

Can i get hiv as i bled and he used the same razor blade?
Thnks

So even the cut i had, you are saying is not deep enough for transmission if there was blood on the blade?
