No risk.

I do not know what you are saying; I have never visited this forum. My question is about getting HIV from a hair cut bruising. Can you get it that way? What if it has infected blood?
HIV is a SEXUALLY transmitted disease. HIV would only be transmitted at a barber shop if the barber inserted his penis inside you.
If you cannot shake this notion then consider seeing a psychologist about OCD.
After you were advised it was a no risk situation, that's the end of it.
I am not sure what is meant by environmental surfaces; why does CDC says that it does not recommend sharing razzors, and needles? Are they not environmental surfaces?
HIV is transmitted by:
Unprotected penetrative anal and vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to infant.
Sharing razors or contact from hair clippers is not an issue because the blood is exposed to air, which inactivates HIV.
Sharing needles is a completely different scenario and refers to IV drug users sharing works...if you did not shoot up heroin at the barber shop from a used needle then you have no HIV concerns.
So you mean: if the clippers or razzors had blood them from a previous customer, and the same clippers bruised someone else, it could in no way transmitt the disease? why not? No body seem to answer my question? Blood is blood?
oh it's been explained...you're just not listening.
go back and re-read all the replies you've already gotten on this post...then move on !
I do not know what you mean? Is sharing needle a "sexual" thing? So it is not correct to say that is just transmitted sexually? Anyway, nobody seems to answer the question I have.

Sorry I did not see you second comment. thanks
Your question was answered if you took time to really read what was written and think about it for a minute.
A needle as in IV needle for drug users, because when the blood is captured it is air tight. All other surfaces do not pose a risk for HIV.
You had no risk.
Please, I know you guys said that one cannot get HIV from a haircut bruising. But now I have joint pains in my fingers and toes; they come and go quickly. If this is not HIV, can this be heptatitis C? Some say that you can get hetaptitis from clippers and razors?
I would really appreciate your help. I consider you a support group. Please do not say, move on. Because I am not imagining these symptoms.
Thanks

This is not very helpful.
This forum is not a psychological support group for people with disease phobias and it ONLY deals with HIV issues, which you do not have.
Take your concerns to the Hepatitis forum.
