Any risk?

[MarcoNYI]

Hello, I have used my room mate razor 2 times this week because mine doesn’t work no more, is there any risk?
One of the time I cleaned it by alcohol and water.
I’m concerned

Nope.  When you say any risk, there is not any risk. The only ways that you could get HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or to share IV needles to inject drugs.  Air inactivates the virus. You can't get it from sharing a razor.  This is zero risk.

Thank you so much, much relieved. Never will do that again!
Can I ask another question? It’s just came to my mind, three days ago I was heading to the gym and I scratch my finger in the car And it’s start bleeding just before entering the gym, I cleaned the blood with napkins and Put a  big Blaster to cover the finger and start working out with blaster covering the finger.
Did I do right? Or I shouldn’t enter the gym?
Is the Finger is an entry to the bloodstream? It was superficial but it’s start to bleed and after the workout I removed the blister and it’s was no blood it’s healed.

Remember this part of my post?  The only ways that you could get HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or to share IV needles to inject drugs. that's it.

Thank you, a medical student in my college really drive me crazy, he said it’s doesn’t matter if you covered your finger with the dressing or it’s a small cut, if one drop of someone blood came to your wound you will be infected. I know he is not a source or something but got me really worried before your response.

You might get some other kinds of infections.
You should ask the medical student why everyone in the world isn't infected with hiv now from cuts after 40 years of it being around.

Thank you so much, so to be completely sure,
Papercut that’s bleeds is not a risk Cause it’s not open wound and there is a protective layers and specially if you used a dressing to cover it up.
And in the environment like in gym it’s pretty much impossible and I should ignore that’s right?
I didn’t see any blood in the equipment and didn’t touch anything by the Injured finger, it’s was the little one and from behind.
Thank you again and I’m sorry for asking to much I’m just worried

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (hands,  razors, blood, etc.). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe.
Instead of trying to give everything that you do in life a review for hiv risk, it is much simpler to review the ONLY 3 from now on to determine if you had a risk. Otherwise you will have lists that are thousands of pages long of what you can safely do and not get hiv.
