Possible hiv exposure

[abc126]

Dear doctor i was at the barber about 5 days ago and the barber cut me with the razor it was at least 2 or 3 minutes before anyone had a haircut there if not more so hes cutting my hair and about 3 or 4 minutes in he pulls out a razor which he probably uses on every1 else for trimming there side burns then he trims my side burns im sure he dosent change the blade because its not a expensive place then i go into shock after hes done trimming my haircut is done i wash the areas with soap in the washroom then drive home and use a disinfecting wipe alcohol probably there was a really small cut there or it might have been the top of my acne chopped of wass i at risk because my local health website sais do not share razors they can be a risk for hiv transmission and i have also read that air exposure inactivates the 70-80 thousand people have hiv in canada divide that by 10 provinces thats about 8000 people in the province out of 5 million people in the province only 8 thousand people have the disease the likelyhood the blade was contaminated with hiv is low but if the blade was contaminated with blood keep in mind it had at least 5 minutes of drying time i also asked my doctor about blood directly in a cut would it result to hiv if the blood was contaminated he said its very unlikely ....sooo in the end do you think i was at risk i dont think so but something inside keeps on bugging me to ask
god bless.

This is where I stopped reading your post. HIV is not transmitted in such a manner. You did not have a risk and don't need testing.
