Hiv through Shaving cream dipped water

[Rajeshmy]

Hi Experts,

My concern is

I have a dandruff and when it itches i scratch it , few times i found some blood gets out and dried up in scalp

Recently i visited a barbour shop for hair cut and evantually my turn came i noticed that the barbour used the

water pot which has been used for shaving the last customer(rinsed the brush in water pot twice and cleaned the brush in the same) , later he changed the water and splashed the water from same pot on my head after hair when it was itching i scratched and found that the blood clots(dried/black layer of blood). Can you please tell me , is there any chance of getting infected with hiv in this way if the person had infected and had a cut.

Thanks in advance for your quick answer

Hi Jcc1970,

Good to hear NO , but the articles and few forums says hiv still can survive in water if it is contaminated , although there are no documented cases found with hiv infection in this way.
