[elekta702]

i went to a barber shop to cut my hair., but before me theres a client who i believe was a hepatitis positive.,

if the razor that the barber used to that guy was used on me is there a posibility that i could trnasmit the hepatitis?

also if that razor has a blood and was used on me am i at risk for possible transmittal? what kind of hepatitis could i get?

please answer my question it would be a great help., thank you very much.,

I too think you should go get tested for hepa, hepb, hepc and HIV. It might be expensive but you will know for sure.

Better safe than sorry, especially if the guy was an obvious hepper you know how they are!

I try to wear different coloured shoes,way better signal than the shoelace thing!!

What was the tip-off that the guy hepatitis positive?  Did you see him do the secret handshake? Or, maybe it was the universal signal, one shoe tied and the other untied.  I don't think I like the fact that our secrets might be getting out.  I knew I should have joined the Masons rather than get Hepatitis.  At least those guys can keep a secret !

They should not have used a razor on you that had been used on someone else immediately before you without sterilizing it.  That's just poor practices and I'd mention it to them and consider going elsewhere.  Who does that anymore??  Makes you wonder about other things they're doing also.

oohhhhh, I think you should get tested for hep a, b, and c....probably hiv also

If the razor didn't cut you there is no risk. Hepc is transmitted by blood to blood contact.  Why do you believe the client before you had hepc?  Do you know this for sure?  

Too many 'ifs' and keep in mind even if you did get cut by the razor and the guy before you had hepc the infected blood must enter the bloodstream of the other person in order to become infected.  This does not happen as easily as most people think.  Hundreds of thousands of people get their hair cut or shaved everyday and if it was a common mode of transmission just about every household in the world would have an infected family member.

In my opinion you have nothing to worry about.
