Hair cut + Hiv

Hair cut + Hiv

Two days ago i was getting my haircut at a salon that i've been going to for the past year. My mother noticed a small cut on my head and freaked out right away. I am starting to get nervous because i called a doctor and she said there is always a small possibility. Do you think that if someone got their hair cut that day and got blood on the scissors; then i got cut by them that there is any way i could get HIV's if the person that was cut was  HIV positive?

You're as bad as me noticing a small red piece of skin and worrying I've been needle pricked.

Can you imagine a world where every haircut had to be followed up by a 3 month HIV test it'd be madness. :D
