hiv from razor

[bhop3323]

Hi. I was shaving at the gym and I tossed my razor in the trash... I missed a large patch and had a work meeting so I did something stupid. I reached into the trash.. as the razor landed on top of the paper and stuff... and shaved the last patch.. I was in a rush and not thinking! Now I have been worried for three days and have been trying to figure out if I could be at risk for hiv I know this was a dumb thing to do... should I get tested? I did not see any blood in trash. But it was a big trash bin.. so I doubt there was but who knows? What would you recommend? Thanks

Thanks for the help! I feel better. Maybe just panicked because what I did was pretty stupid! Thanks again

HIV is not transmitted by shaving.  HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
