Barber HIV cut
Hello
About 3 days ago I went to get my haircut, the guy who cuts my hair has a small room at the back of a womens hairdressers where he cuts hair. I've been going to this place for about a year now. He is a certified barber as proved by his certificate. Well I went to get my haircut and funnily enough before my cut a nearly bald women was getting a quick touch up and touch up with a straight non disposable razor, one of the big ones. As far as I saw she didnt get cut but I cannot remember seeing the barber clean or sterilize the razor at all, maybe he did, maybe he didnt i wasnt paying attention .. Anyway it was my turn to get a haircut, it took about 3-5 minutes using the clippers to shave my hair then he started using the razor to fix up the sideburns and around the sides and neck, my barber puts some kind of water on the my head using a brush before he uses the razor so you dont get cut.
When he was using the razor on me he cut me about 2 millimetres long cut just below my ear, I usually always get cut because my skin is soft, there was blood, I am worried that the person before me got blood on the razor or there was some blood on the brush from the previous person when he was brushing there head with the water and that got into the cut on my head.
