Worried about AIDS
Hello,
I got haircut yesterday and the barbar used a machine with number 1 size (very small) to cut my hair. No blade or razor was used. Today, one of my friends told me that few people got AIDS by cutting hair from that saloon, but he was not sure if this story was true or false. Now, I am getting worried and cant sleep with fear. Is there any chance that I may be infected by HIV virus for the haircut ? Do I need to check for AIDS ? if I get AIDS just by this haircut what is the remedy ? So many questions are coming and I am getting paranoid.
Thanks and regards,

No how? you did not even have a cut ... and even if you had one ... the virus dies on the blades very quickly
