Is there any risk getting HIV from barber shop. accidently not changed the blade ? knowing that i get tiny cut usually there
to conclude this, my question is: even a razor that cut someone infected can't infect the next who will get cut by it. can we still consider no risk ?
No you cannot contract HIV in a barber shop.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
