Hiv from Haricut Trimmer

I got a cut near my ear, while trimming my hair in Barbar shop. There is atleast 3-4 minutes gap between the reuse  of trimmer from previous person. Is there any risk of hiv from such kind of  activity?

hiv is not transmitted through environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.  once exposed to air, it becomes inactive and unable to infect.
