HIV razors

[anxiety02013]

Hello,

I'm worried about an event, i was in a barber for hair cut. When he wanted to cut the hair sides close to my backneck using a stright razor, I didnt' notice if he changed the blade or not.
Back to home i checked the area it was a bit red but no visible cut, then i put some sterilizing alcohol on that area to clean.
I'm worried if he didn't changed the blade and was used on the customer who was before me few minutes.
Am i at risk ? shoud i test ? I heard that HIV is weak once hit the air and transmission doesnt occur in the outside of the body, but i really need someone feedback to relieve my stress

No it wouldn't be a risk. You were told above how HIV is transmitted.

I hope i'm not bothering you, but i just want to clear up my knowledge. What if i didn't notice a cut that occured indeed (tiny cuts i mean).
Any risk in this scenario ?
thanks in advance

Thank you for the swift feedback, really appreciated.
I was worried about the red area and that it could represent an opening to diseases. Sometimes bad ideas lead us to imagine worst. I should move on, good day.

At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

No risk.  HIV is not transmitted in this manner.  No "what if" question will change that.
