Hiv transmission at saloon?

[Ronyi5]

Hii....On 20th Feb 2017, I went to a saloon and after the haircut, the barber was cleaning my sideburns but he did'nt change the blade and then I got a cut on my ear. I know my question may be stupid or I may sound like a paranoid, but I'm really worried about it. So, my question is, am I HIV infected. I did'nt even notice a single symptom of HIV, and yesterday I got tested and the results were negative, but today when I woke up and felt my right nose blocked, let me tell you I have my AC on for all night at 20 degree celcius and my body temperature was low it was around 36.5 degree celcius. So, my question is am I HIV positive ?

HIV science is 40 years old. You don't seem to want to understand disease theory, so perhaps should try therapy to deal with your HIV obsession.

Hi.  MedHelp adheres to the position of the CDC as well as the input of expert physicians that HIV is only transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the sharing of needles, or from mother to child.  HIV is inactivated by air and does not survive on a surface such as a razor so this is not a risk for transmission.  We wish you the best.

Have you ever read of anyone getting HIV from a barber? It would be front page news, however it can't happen because  HIV is inactivated in air so can't infect.

Yeah!! I read about it that HIV is inactive in air..but the barber used a straight razor..that's why I am worried...but at first I did not get a cut at first, when the barber cleaned my sideburns, he moved the razor next to my right ear and then I got cut.
