You tested over a non risk.  You never needed to test in the first place.  These are the risks for HIV for adults:  if you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles. Air inactivates the virus and this is why a barber shop tool would never result in acquiring HIV.   You did not need a test.  Then the scenario of reusing a needle. This really does not happen.  That's usually a sign that someone has great HIV fear and health anxiety. Talk to someone about your anxiety.

You don't have an HIV problem, you have an anxiety problem.  Either you have developed an HIV phobia or you have other things that you're also obsessing over.  I would suggest you consider therapy, and stop worrying about HIV, again, it's not your problem.
