HIV from a hair cut at Barbara shop?

A barbara in ENgland cut my hair using clippers; when he cut a line under my neck, he really bruised me; I could not not touch the area for a few days because it was burning. I showed it to several people and every body said there was not "cut"; I do not know if there was blood when he first bruised me.

I went back to the Barbara and asked him about it; he said there was not cut; and that he spray the clippers.

I am really worried. Can you get HIV from a bruise like that ? Clippers were really sharp; It has been seven days, and now I have some headaches, and stye on my eyelid, which is swollen? Are these symptoms?

No risk.

You cannot get HIV from environmental surfaces like clippers.
