Risk through sharing a razor?
I wanted to ask about this, my Dad and I shared the same razors quite alot in the past. I am now worried. I know he has given blood on many occasions but not for a few years now and we have shared razors many times since then. I don't know of any things he does that are risky,
Do I need to test for HIV?
What was my risk from sharing my razor with him those times?

Everyone washes their razor after shaving. It's common sense. The blood would dry on your father's razor anyways if there was any (probably of this being the case is 0.00000001%), and body viruses likes herpes and HIV can't survive on dry surfaces. Your chance of having HIV is equal to the probability of Saddam Hussien coming back from the dead to rule the world. In another words, like LIZZIE LOU put it: Zero.
