Razor cut and using a hotel towel - risk for HIV?
Because of this, I had depression, I am 13 year old now. A few years ago, I went to a Korean barber and his razor accidentally shaved my skin. Is there any risk for hiv? And sorry, another question, is follicutis a symptom of hiv? I have those on my leg and a few pimple on my arms and leg. These questions are kind of stupid but I dunno> And lately, is there a risk if you went to a 5 star hotel and used a towel to clean your private part on period? I don’t know? Or is it caused by stress. Thank you so much.

The ONLY two ways you could be exposed to HIV are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles.
You can't get HIV from a cut on your skin, or any object like a towel. If you avoid the two activities I mentioned above, you will never have to worry about getting HIV.
