Can shared razors lead to hiv transmission? And why. Is true that when the blood go to envirometal then is not transmitable?
Yes, HBV and HCV are much more prevalent and virulent than HIV. We see many more cases of transmission through blood than we do HIV .

Shared razors cannot transmit HIV but I read yesterday that some forms of Hepatitis can be passed by sharing razors.
Shared razors can not lead to HIV transmission due to several reasons...1. HIV not passed from enviromental objects, 2. The virus is in active after being exposed to air and other elements. 3. It takes more then a little blood that would be found on a razor for a risk of transmission.
