RISKY CUTS AND OPEN WOUNDS

Its a general question. what type of cut or open wound is considered to be risky?
1)in barber shop we often get cuts most likely, so these type of cuts are fresh and actively bleeding,i wanna know that weather this type of cuts are risky if the blood gets into it through razor holder or blood on razor if it comes from hiv infected person just before us
2) are they superficial cuts or they cum under deep cuts
3) can these cuts take the virus above mentioned directly to the blood stream so that infection is possible
4) what is the risk i wannna know the figure that 1 in 1000, or 1in 2000
           if one ans in a scitifically this can reduce the anexity among people mainly indian people wher doctors are so much ignorant about hiv transmission
in india i found many HIV Experts says that it is risk and some doctor even suggest PEP in this scenario so far i know , as i visit many hiv consultanat. i m a postgraduate student and try to lessen the anexity among the people here
