Blod exposure

The incident took place two days ago
i went to a barber shop for having shave. On m turn the barber changed the blade of the razor in front of me.
but i thought that he accidentally got a cut while changing blade on his finger.
after having shave i got two minor cuts , one on my neck nd other on my cheek
but they were so minor that only a single drop of blood came out of each.
NOW I'm WORRIED that if their was a drop of blood already on the blade what are my chances of getting any STD mainly HEP-C , HEP-B or HIV?
plz access my risk as it made me extremely worried...

I would never go to that barber again if a guy cut his finger and didn't clean and taped this.

Very difficult to assess your risks, but the potential of transmission is certainly there IF the barber were infected AND did cut his finger. I suggest you go and see an infection specialist doctor.
