Hi I'm little worried. Help me please.

Today I go to barber for my hair cut and he shaves me, but I see he doesn't change a new razor blade -- the last customer shaved before me 5 minutes. Anyway, I doesn't get any cut;it's just little irritated--little sored when taking a bath. Also, there's any blood or obvious blood on my face. Is it risk if the last customer is cut and this razor blade is used to shave me in this case? I'm little serious --or paranoid?? So sad.

So I don't need to be tested, right?-- I've never had sex with the others before. Thank you very much.

Even with blood on the razor blade it wouldn't be a risk for HIV transmission.

Even there were blood on razor blade, it would not be risk???? Why there is the prohibition of using the blade together. Sorry to ask more. I'm kinda paranoid. T_________________T

Not an HIV concern. 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
