HIV from a hair cut at Barbara shop?

[Mogadan]

A barbara in ENgland cut my hair using clippers; when he cut a line under my neck, he really bruised me; I could not not touch the area for a few days because it was burning. I showed it to several people and every body said there was not "cut"; I do not know if there was blood when he first bruised me.

I went back to the Barbara and asked him about it; he said there was not cut; and that he spray the clippers.

I am really worried. Can you get HIV from a bruise like that ? Clippers were really sharp; It has been seven days, and now I have some headaches, and stye on my eyelid, which is swollen? Are these symptoms?

Sharing razors or contact from hair clippers is not an issue because the blood is exposed to air, which inactivates HIV.

Sharing needles is a completely different scenario and refers to IV drug users sharing works...if you did not shoot up heroin at the barber shop from a used needle then you have no HIV concerns.

HIV is transmitted by:
Unprotected penetrative anal and vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to infant.

I am not sure what is meant by environmental surfaces; why does CDC says that it does not recommend  sharing razzors, and needles? Are they not environmental surfaces?

After you were advised it was a no risk situation, that's the end of it.

HIV is a SEXUALLY transmitted disease. HIV would only be transmitted at a barber shop  if the barber inserted his penis inside you.

If you cannot shake this notion then consider seeing a psychologist about OCD.

I do not know what you are saying; I have never visited this forum. My question is about getting HIV from a hair cut bruising. Can you get it that way? What if it has infected blood?
