Haircut Disaster

I had my haircut today at a local chain of great clips and while the barber was cleaning the back of my neck with an electric razor, she nicked a mole and caused it to bleed. i am very concearned that i might have contracted hiv/aids or hepatits from this contact. i am nearly positive she did not sterilze the device from the last guy becasue i saw the last customer leave. she also tried to clean the cut with a rag that she used to wipe hair off of my face. please tell me if it is possible to get any major disease from the sort of contact.

You were never at risk...HIV is not transmitted by a barber's razor or clippers.
