Eyebrow cut in barbershop

Hi Sir,
I went to the barbershop for my eyebrow one month ago. I had a cut and I did not know the barber that changed the razor or not. In my cut there is no visible blood but it was irritated after and had a scab. I was really worried about getting HIV. Give me some advice Sir I can not sleep since that day. I went to have a test but now I have fear to receive the result next Monday Sir

I need some advice, Ms. As you told me that I had no risk and I also got the negative result of Compo Test at 32th day. I had moved on and come back with my life. But now, about 2 months after since that day, I have sore throat, headache and cough, so now I feel worried about that again. Should I retest? I am scared for that so much. Please help me...

You didn't have a risk even if the barber didn't change the razor. The virus cannot maintain infectiousness outside the body. You didn't need to test either.
