HIV INFECTION VIA RAZOR

Hello,

Yesterday, I used an old razor I found at work in the tool kit area.  I knew this razor was there for a year or so.  I don't know if someone had used this razor or not, but it looked clean (no apparent blood).  

I then washed the razor under the faucet for a few second and proceeded in shaving.  I cut myself shaving, like a razor burn with spotting blood.  

Should I be concerned of possible HIV transmission??????????????? Is testing needed?????????????????????

Thanks for the clarification. I realize I get really paranoid over this subject. However, I still had to ask.  Thanks again!

I reckon that you have been on this forum long enough to know about HIV transmission scopes/risks. Is this a newer way to kill time or some thing? Dude, go take that parental contol off your firewall and watch some porn, grow up!

Just for the sake of info; No, the above mentioned situation posseses no HIV risk.
