The guy going by tteak is "Chapeau" and he is pisse d off because he got banned from the forum and feels he should continue to disrupt the operation of the forum as he had done in the past. Just "ignore" his remarks.
No risk. If you had read the relplies given to you would have known you didn't have a risk.
Results from laboratory studies should not be used to assess specific personal risk of infection because (1) the amount of virus studied is not found in human specimens or elsewhere in nature, and (2) no one has been identified as infected with HIV due to contact with an environmental surface. Additionally, 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.

but some document said that if the blood is not dry, there are still some hiv alive in the blood until it dry.
so i am quite confused.

It doesn't live to begin with. HIV is either active or inactive and HIV cannot stay active outside it's host. You cannot contract HIV off environmental surfaces.
who can tell me why i am not at a risk.
how long will hiv live on the razor????
5 mins?is it enough ?

The HIV doesn't live any longer in Singapore than anywhere else.
