hiv transmission in barber shop


i have read a lot of posts to get my answer but couldnt get one for my exposure

i was at barber shop and he cut me deep with a blade razor on my ear (backside) with a lot of bleeding.
now he was shaving someone on the next chair and used the same blade to clean the back of my head and cut me simuntaneously.he was a guy under training and had cut the guy on his cheek minutes before.

i shouted on him why he didnt change the blade and got the guy fired but i am damn scared i even requested the guy sitting next to me to get tested for hiv but he refused making me more tensed.

is there any way a person can get hiv from 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.
