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.

hiv virus on that razor couldn't survive that long outside a human's body. So, if u used ur uncle's razor after quite some time, and u got cut, the chances of getting hiv is very very very long, almost none.
