Is this dangerous to get HIV?

Hello,doctor! I was cut by a eyebrow razor which is used by a photo studio.I know that it is not sterilized.So I am scared and anxious.If there was virus or blood on it,and after several hours,when I used it,is it possible to transmit HIV? Thanks a lot!

NO...hiv is not transmitted from environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.

once exposed to air, hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect
