Its a general question. what type of cutCuts and puncture wounds or open wound is considered to be risky?
1)in barber shop we often get cutsCuts and puncture wounds most likely, so these type of cutsCuts and puncture wounds are fresh and actively bleeding,i wanna know that weather this type of cutsCuts and puncture wounds are risky if the blood gets into it through razor holder or blood on razor if it comes from hiv infected person just before us
2) are they superficial cutsCuts and puncture wounds or they cum under deep cutsCuts and puncture wounds
3) can these cuts take the virus above mentioned directly to the blood stream so that infection is possible
4) what is the risk i wannna know the figure that 1 in 1000, or 1in 2000
           if one ans in a scitifically this can reduce the anexity among people mainly indian people wher doctors are so much ignorant about hiv transmission
in india i found many HIV Experts says that it is risk and some doctor even suggest PEP in this scenario so far i know , as i visit many hiv consultanat. i m a postgraduate student and try to lessen the anexity among the people here
