Can HIV be transmitted during waxing and the use of talcom powder?
I went to a salon for an underarm waxing and the lady was not wearing gloves, during the procedure my skin got broken and was bleeding. she dipped the same wooden stick severally in a standby wax and then she applied talcom powder from a standby powder jar using a cloth pad that she has probably been using on other clients.
Is it possible to contact HIV during this procedure?

NO, you have nothing to worry about, except for maybe finding a new wax girl!  OUCH!

HIV cannot be transmitted from environmental surfaces.
